1) 1/8

2) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

First of all, we notice that the spinner is divided into 8 sections of equal size.

So the number of sections is

n = 8

Secondly, we note that each section has the same size: this means that the probability of the spinner landing on each section is the same.

The probabilty of a certain event A to occur is given by

p(A)=\frac{a}{n}

where

a is the number of successfull outcomes (in which A occurs)

n is the total number of possible outcomes

Here we want to find

p(7) = probability that the spinner lands on section 7

Here we have:

a=1 (only 1 outcome is successfull: the one in which the spinner lands on section 7)

n=8

Therefore, the probability is

p(7)=\frac{1}{8}

2)

Here we want to find the probability that the spinner lands on an even numbered section.

As before, the total number of possible outcomes his:

n=8

which corresponds to: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

The even-numbered sections are:

2, 4, 6, 8

So, the number of successfull outcomes is

a=4

Because there are only 4 even-numbered sections.

Therefore, the probability that the spinner lands on an even numbered section is:

p(e)=\frac{a}{n}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

Identify the percent of change as an increase or a decrease. 4/5 to 3/5
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

So, I encourage you to grab a calculator and see for yourself

Put in the function: 4/5 into a standard calculator. You will see that it will come out to .8

Put in the function: 3/5 into a standard calculator. You will see that it will come out to .6

.6 is less than .8, just as 3/5 is less than 4/5.

Another analogy that can be used is seeing the fraction as a real-life object.

Let's say that you make two pies. You cut the pie evenly into five slices. You set them on the table and leave them for whoever wants to eat them. You see that Pie 1 has two slices missing (3/5) and that Pie 2 has one slice missing. (4/5)

3 out of 5 slices are left of Pie 1.

4 out of 5 slices are left of Pie 2.

Pie 1 has less than Pie 2 does.

Hope this has helped!

Using the graphing function on your calculator, find the solution to the system
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

It has infinite solutions.

D. More than 1 solution

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left \{ {{3y - 9x = -6} \atop {5y - 15x = -10}} \right. $

$\left \{ {{3y(-5) - 9x(-5) = -6(-5)} \atop {5y(3) - 15x(3) = -10(3)}} \right. $

$\left \{ {{-15y +45x = 30} \atop {15y - 45x = -30}} \right. $

0+0=0

or

5y = 15x - 10\\y = 3x - 2

3(3x-2) - 9x = -6

0=0
