The number of ways you can pick 3 people from 9 = 9*8*7 / 3*2*1 = 84

So chance of picking the 3 suspects = 1 / 84.

The number of ways to pick 3 from the 6 innocent people = 6*5*4 / 3*2*1 = 20

Chances of picking 3 innocent people = 20 / 84  or 5/21

Answer:

<em>The width of the lid is 15 cm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Perimeter of a Rectangle</u>

Given a rectangle of width W and height H, the perimeter is calculated as:

P = 2(W + L)

Jon used 56 cm of ribbon to go around the edge of a rectangular lid. This means the perimeter is:

2(W + L) = 56

Dividing by 2:

W + L = 28

Since the lid was L=13 cm long, the width is:

W = 28 - 13 = 15

The width of the lid is 15 cm

Help anyone<br> 8th grade math?
Kruka [31]

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2.8 + 2x = 0.6 x 8

2.8 x + 2x = 4.8

2x = 4.8 - 2.8 (subtract 2.8 on both sides)

2x = 2

x = 1 (divide 2 on both sides)

Hope this helps

Which algebraic expression is represented by the model?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

3(2x+2) = 6x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Those are algebra tiles, so it is saying (if you read across the top) 2x +2 then if you read down you have 3 units, so the dot means 2x + 2 multiplied by 3

If you write it in algebraic terms it is 3(2x+2) so the answer when you distribute is 3 (2x) + 3(2) so 6x + 6, and if you count the number of red rectangles you have 6 of them, hence the 6x, and if you cound the units in gray you have 6 of them, hence the 6.

Algebra tiles are used to demonstrate algebra concepts
