Answer:
We conclude that the equivalent expression is:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression

Remove parentheses: (a) = a

Multiply the numbers: 3 × 2 = 6

Multiply the numbers: 4 × 5 = 20

Multiply the numbers: 4 × 2 = 8

Thus, we conclude that the equivalent expression is:

Answer:
(A) spinning red
(B) picking blue
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 9 sections to the spinner, so the probabilities of spinning the colors of interest are ...
red: 3/9 = 1/3
blue: 4/9
__
There are 12 balls in the bag, so the probabilities of picking the colors of interest are ...
blue: 4/12 = 1/3
red: 5/12
__
We note that the numbers that are the same on these lists are 1/3 for spinning red and picking blue. We also note that point A on the number line is located at about 1/3 (more than 1/4, less than 3/8).
The events that can be modeled by point A on the number line are ...
- spinning red
- picking a blue ball
