$Solution, 1\frac{7}{8}\cdot \frac{5}{6}=1\frac{9}{16}\quad \left(\mathrm{Decimal:\quad }\:1.5625\right)$

$Steps:$

$\mathrm{Convert\:mixed\:numbers\:to\:improper\:fractions}:\quad 1\frac{7}{8}=\frac{15}{8}, =\frac{15}{8}\cdot \frac{5}{6}$

$\mathrm{Cross-cancel\:common\:factor:}\:3, =\frac{5}{8}\cdot \frac{5}{2}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{b}\cdot \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\:\cdot \:c}{b\:\cdot \:d}, =\frac{5\cdot \:5}{8\cdot \:2}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:5\cdot \:5=25, =\frac{25}{8\cdot \:2}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:8\cdot \:2=16, =\frac{25}{16}$

$\mathrm{Convert\:improper\:fractions\:to\:mixed\:numbers}:\quad \frac{25}{16}=1\frac{9}{16}, =1\frac{9}{16}$

Hope this helps!!!

Find the distance between each set of points. Round to the nearest tenth, when necessary. (-3, 2) and (1, -6)

vovangra [49]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 8.9 units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

$d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} + ({y1 - y2})^{2} } \\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-3, 2) and (1, -6)

The distance between them is

$d = \sqrt{ ({ - 3 - 1})^{2} + ({2 + 6})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 4})^{2} + {8}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{16 + 64} \\ = \sqrt{80} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 4 \sqrt{5} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 8.9442719...$

We have the final answer as

8.9 units to the nearest tenth

You are working in a primary care office. Flu season is starting. For the sake of public health, it is critical to diagnose peop

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

E. 0.11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 10% probability that a person has the flu.

A 90% probability that a person does not have the flu, just a cold.

If a person has the flu, a 99% probability of having a runny nose.

If a person just has a cold, a 90% probability of having a runny nose.

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem, we have that:

What is the probability that a person has the flu, given that she has a runny nose?

P(B) is the probability that a person has the flu. So P(B) = 0.1.

P(A/B) is the probability that a person has a runny nose, given that she has the flu. So P(A/B) = 0.99.

P(A) is the probability that a person has a runny nose. It is 0.99 of 0.1 and 0.90 of 0.90. So

$P(A) = 0.99*0.1 + 0.9*0.9 = 0.909$

What is the probability that this person has the flu?

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1*0.99}{0.909} = 0.1089 = 0.11$

The correct answer is:

E. 0.11

How do you find the mode median the mean to range in stem and leaf plots

Julli [10]

The median is the middle line. Range is the the lowest value subtracted from the highest value. Mode is the most often occurring number. The mean is the average of all the data.
