Answer: the prices of the gifts are $6.4 and $19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of the cheaper gift.

Let y represent the price of the costlier gift.

The price of one gift was 3 times the cost of the other. It means that the price of the costlier gift is expressed as

y = 3x

If both gifts cost $25.60 altogether, it means that

x + y = 25.60- - - - - - - -- - -1

Substituting y = 3x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 3x = 25.6

4x = 25.6

x = 25.6/4

x = $6.4

y = 3x = 3 × 6.4

y = $19.2

Which expression is equivalent to (2^5)^-2
irinina [24]

<u><em>1/1024 is the correct answer.</em></u> First you had to apply exponent rule, and it gave us, \frac{1}{(2^5)^2}, or 2^5^*^2. Then you can also refine, and it gave us, 2^10, or \frac{1}{2^10}. And it gave us the answer is 2^1^0=2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2=1024, or 1/1024 is the correct answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie

Find the exact value of cos 120° in simplest form with a rational<br> denominator.
IRINA_888 [86]

Given:

cos 120°

To find:

The exact value of cos 120° in simplest form with a rational  denominator.

Solution:

We have,

\cos 120^\circ

It can be written as

\cos 120^\circ=\cos (90^\circ+30^\circ)

\cos 120^\circ=-\sin 30^\circ             [\because \cos (90^\circ-\theta)=-\sin \theta]

\cos 120^\circ=-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)             [\because \sin 30^\circ=\dfrac{1}{2}]

\cos 120^\circ=-\dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore, the exact value of cos 120° is -\dfrac{1}{2}.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The probability of drawing three red marbles is 1/27, or about 3.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all the marbles:

5 + 4 + 6 = 15

Find favourable outcomes:

5

The probability for drawing a red marble is:

5/15 or 1/3

Multiply this ×3 to find the probability of drawing three red marbles.

1/3 × 1/3 × 1/3 = 1/27

1 ÷ 27 = 0.0370370370 ... repeating
