Answer:

The answer to your question is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total volume = 1 gallon

Water drank by the hiker = 1/2

Water drank by each of his friends = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the water that he gave to his friends

Water gave to his friends = 1 - 1/2

                                          = 1/2

2.- Calculate the amount of water each friend received.

            1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/8

3.- Conclusion

Each of the friends received 1/8 of the gallon.

(5+2 i)(4-3i) - (5-2yi)(4-3i) in a + bi form, where y is a real number.
ElenaW [278]
<span>(5+2 i)(4-3i) - (5-2yi)(4-3i)

Factorize out (4 -3i)

(4 -3i)( (5 +2i) - (5 -2yi) )

=  </span><span><span>(4 -3i)(5 +2i - 5 + 2yi)</span>

=  </span><span><span>(4 -3i)(5 - 5 + 2i + 2yi)</span>

= (4 -3i)(2i + 2yi)

= (4 - 3i)(2 + 2y)i.    Let's multiply the first two.
</span>
(4 - 3i)(2 + 2y) = 2*(4 -3i) + 2y*(4 - 3i)           
                      =  8 - 6i + 8y - 6yi
                      =  8 + 8y - 6i - 6yi

(4 - 3i)(2 + 2y)i = (8 + 8y - 6i - 6yi)i                Note: i² = -1
                       =  8i  + 8yi - 6i² - 6yi²
                       =  8i  +  8yi - 6(-1) - 6y(-1)  
                       =  8i  +  8yi  + 6 + 6y
                       =  6 + 6y + 8i + 8yi
                       =  (6 + 6y) + (8 + 8y)i    In the form a + bi

The contingency table below gives the counts of students by activities and gender. Band Sports Debate Total Male 105 320 7 432 F
Ber [7]

Answer:

599/711

Step-by-step explanation:

           Band Sports Debate Total

Male     105 320  7         432

Female 105 160         14         279

Total 210 480          21          711


P(female or plays sports)

We want the probability that they are female or play sports, but we cannot double count the female sports players, so we subtract them

 P(female) + P (sports) - (female and sports)

female/total + sports/total - female sports/ total

279/711 + 480/711 - 160/711

599/711

My granddaughter is having problems understanding math questions; Divide 360 / 4
AURORKA [14]
Question: \frac{360}{4}
There are two methods of doing this. One is via long division. It is long, and hard to type in a meaningful way, so I will not include that method. The other, which I often employ for dividing by small amounts such as 4, is to divide it in half 2 times. This is possible because 4 = 2 times 2. You now have the fractions \frac{360}{2*2} = \frac{180}{2} = \frac{90}{1} = 90
Therefore the solution is 90.
