This is how proportion is written 7:21=3:9. The colons are sign of division so it can be shown in the terms of fraction as 7/21=3/9 or 1/3=1/3

A fair die is rolled in a board game to determine how many spaces a player can move on their turn. It has one of the numbers 1,2

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

(a)6 (b)3 (c)0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a fair die with the numbers 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 on each of its faces.

Event A is the event of rolling an even number

Event B is the event of rolling an odd number.

(a)The sample space for the outcomes in this experiment is {1,2,3,4,5,6}

There are 6 outcomes in the sample space.

n(S)=6

(b)

Event A is the event of rolling an even number

Sample space of A = {2,4,6}

There are 3 outcomes in event A.

n(A)=3

(c)The probability of event A

$P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)} =\dfrac{3}{6} =0.5$

P(A) =0.5 is the probability that you choose an even number.

What is the solution to the equation 13×3/4+x=7(1/4)

yan [13]

I'm going to assume you mean:

13 * (3/4) + x = 7 * (1/4)

Let's go ahead and simplify the right side.

7 * (1/4) = 1.75

So now we have:

13 * (3/4) + x = 1.75

Now let's take care of the right side. Multiplication before addition.

13 * (3/4) = 9.75

9.75 + x = 1.75

To isolate x, we subtract 9.75 from both sides.

9.75 - 9.75 + x = 1.75 - 9.75

x = -8

Hopefully I spaced this well. \('-')/

Debra wants to cover a footrest in the shape of a rectangular prism with cotton fabric. The footrest is 15 inches by 7 inches by

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Yes, she can.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the surface area of the footrest and see if it greater than or less than 1 square yard.

The surface area of a rectangular prism is given as:

A=2(wl+hl+hw)

where w = width, l = length, h = height

The footrest is 15 inches by 7 inches by 9 inches. Its surface area is:

A = 2[(7 * 15) + (9 * 15) + (9 * 7)]

A = 2[105 + 135 + 63]

A = 2 * 303 = 606 square inches

1 square inch = 0.000771605 square yards

=> 606 square inches = 606 * 0.000771605 = 0.468 square yards

Since the surface area of the prism is less than 1 square yard, she can completely cover the footrest with the fabric.
