How would you solve 3/4 over 1/2 as a ratio

Mathematics
1 answer:
miskamm [114]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A couple of different methods are used for dividing fractions.

1. "Invert and multiply". Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

  (3/4) / (1/2) = (3/4) × (2/1)

  = (3·2)/(4·1) = 6/4 = 3/2

__

2. Make the denominators the same and use the ratio of numerators.

  (3/4) / (1/2) = (3/4) / (2/4) = 3/2

_____

For these fractions, you can recognize that 3/4 is 1/4 more than 1/2, and that 1/4 is half of 1/2. That means 3/4 is half-again as much as 1/2, so is 1 1/2 = 3/2 times 1/2. This tells you the ratio (3/4) : (1/2) = 3/2.

__

Along the lines of the above, you can write the ratio as ...

  (3/4) : (1/2)

and multiply by 4 to get

  = (3/4)×4 : (1/2)×4 = 3 : 2

cam hits the bullseye in 8 darts out of 15 throws. what is the experimental probability that came next throws will hit the bulls
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

A darts player practices throwing a dart at the bull’s eye on a dart board. Her probability of hitting the bull’s eye for each throw is 0.2.

(a) Find the probability that she is successful for the first time on the third throw:

The number F of unsuccessful throws till the first bull’s eye follows a geometric

distribution with probability of success q = 0.2 and probability of failure p = 0.8.

If the first bull’s eye is on the third throw, there must be two failures:

P(F = 2) = p

2

q = (0.8)2

(0.2) = 0.128.

(b) Find the probability that she will have at least three failures before her first

success.

We want the probability of F ≥ 3. This can be found in two ways:

P(F ≥ 3) = P(F = 3) + P(F = 4) + P(F = 5) + P(F = 6) + . . .

= p

3

q + p

4

q + p

5

q + p

6

q + . . . (geometric series with ratio p)

=

p

3

q

1 − p

=

(0.8)3

(0.2)

1 − 0.8

= (0.8)3 = 0.512.

Alternatively,

P(F ≥ 3) = 1 − (P(F = 0) + P(F = 1) + P(F = 2))

= 1 − (q + pq + p

2

q)

= 1 − (0.2)(1 + 0.8 + (0.8)2

)

= 1 − 0.488 = 0.512.

(c) How many throws on average will fail before she hits bull’s eye?

Since p = 0.8 and q = 0.2, the expected number of failures before the first success

is

E[F] = p

q

=

0.8

0.2

= 4.

Is this corrrecct??? answe quick!?​
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3x+45=180º because all of the angles of a triangle add up to 180

5x=180-45

5x=135

x=135/5

x=27

Answer:

List 2

Step-by-step explanation:

List 1 mentions that there is "Ham, Carrots, celery". We know that students can only have <em>either </em>carrots or celery, but the list shows that the students have both. Therefore, list 2 is correct.
