We can calculate the mmc between 8 and 12

8, 12 | 2

4 , 6 | 2

2 , 3 | 2

1 , 3 | 3

1, 1 | 1

mmc = 2 × 2× 2×3

mmc = 24

24 ÷ 8 = 3

And

24 ÷ 12 = 2

3/8 + 5/12 = ( 3× 3+ 5×2)/24

= (9 + 10)/24

= 19 / 24

Answer = 19/24

Another way of calculating would be to multiply the denominator and multiply the extremes.

3/8 + 5/12 = ( 3 × 12 + 8×5)/8×12

= ( 36 + 40)/96

= 76/96

Division by 2

= 38 / 48

Division by 2

= 19 / 24

I hope this has helped.

Hello, i’m stuck on this question can anyone help me please here is a pic, i’m putting 17 points that’s the highest it lets me..

Answer:

So we can try all answers with -10 we get -11/4 = -2.75. And that is less so it works. -7 wont work because -8/4 = -2 and its not less than its the same. So the higher you go it wont work. So that rules out -7, -5, and -1. For 0 you get -1/4 = 0.25 which also doesn't work.

Abby, Deborah, Mei-Ling, Sam, and Roberto work in a firm's public relations office. Their employer must choose two of them to at

sattari [20]

Answer:

a) Ω = { {Abby, Deborath}, {Abby, Mei-Ling}, {Abby, Sam}, {Abby,Roberto}, {Deborah, Mei-Ling}, {Deborah, Sam}, {Deborah, Roberto}, {Mei-Ling, Sam}, {Mei-Ling, Roberto}, {Sam, Roberto} }

b) 0.1

c) 0.4

d) 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The sample space must contain every possible combination of two names. Since we dont care about the order of the chosen names, we can describe every element of the sample space as a subset of 2 elements of the set {Abby, Deborah, Mei-Ling, Sam, Roberto}. That subset will represent the names of the chosen persons. With this in mind, we conclude that the sample space is

Ω = { {Abby, Deborath}, {Abby, Mei-Ling}, {Abby, Sam}, {Abby,Roberto}, {Deborah, Mei-Ling}, {Deborah, Sam}, {Deborah, Roberto}, {Mei-Ling, Sam}, {Mei-Ling, Roberto}, {Sam, Roberto} }

b) The cardinality of the sample space Ω is 10. Since all choices are equally likely, any choice will have probability $\frac{1}{10} = 0.1$ , because the 10 of them combined must add up 1.

c) We need to find all possible choices that includes Mei-Ling, those will be our favourable cases. The amount of favourable cases must be divided to the total amount of cases (the cardinality of Ω) in order to obtain the probability of Mei-Ling being chosen. Mei-Ling is included on 4 choices (one for each of her partners), this means that she has a probability of $\frac{4}{10} = 0.4$ to being chosen.

d) We have 3 favourable cases ,the choices {Abby, Deborah}, {Abby, Mei-Ling} and {Deborah, Mei-Ling}, which neither of them contain a man. By dividing that number to the total number of cases, we obtain a probability of $\frac{3}{10} = 0.3$ that neither of the two men are chosen

cd sales at corner music increased 145% last year. which number is equivalent to 145%? 14,500 145 1.45 0.0145

olga55 [171]

The question is asking to calculate the said percentage into a decimal point and choose among the choices that is equivalent to it, and in my further research and computation, I would say that the answer would be 1.45. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
