The probability that an event occurs is the number of times it could occur compared to the total number of possible events, assuming the probability of each event occurring is equal.

John has 4+8=12 coins total. If 4 of the coins are dimes, the probability that he draws a dime is \frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\approx 33\% \approx 0.33.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6, 8) and has a slope 1/2
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

y=1/2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug it into the formula for a point and a slope.

(y-(y(subscript 1)))=(m)(x-(x(subscript 1)))

Y-8=1/2(x-6)

Then multiply the 1/2 to the x and -6. After you do that, move everything so that it has y by itself on the left. Your ending should be y=1/2x+5.

There are 16 students playing kickball. Two students leave to go play hopscotch. How do you write the fraction of children left
olga55 [171]

Answer:

7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

When 16 students are playing kickball, there are 16/16 students on the field. After 2 leave, this becomes 16-2/16, therefore 14/16 which is divisible by 2. and therefore 7/8, which the numerator and denominator have no common divisors.

Which number produces a rational number when multiplied by 0.5?
xxMikexx [17]

If the number begins by being rational, multiplying by 0.5 will not change whether or not it is rational. It will remain rational.


That would include any even number 12 * 0.5 = 6

12 started out as rational, so the answer is rational (6)


Any odd number is also rational

23 * 0.5 = 11.5

23 and 11.5 are both rational.


3.636363636 ... is rational so when multiplied by 0.5 the result will be rational.

1.818181818....


So if we start with something irrational like pi

then pi * 0.5 is not rational.

If you have choices, please list them.
