Answer:

C 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this probability, we need to add up all the fruits in the bowl (17 + 8 +23 = 48)  and then isolate the number of fruits we are trying to spoon out (8). Putting this into the probability fraction, this becomes 8/48 or 1/6. So, Lanessa has a 1/6th chance of spooning out a cherry.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 17+8+23=48 possible outcomes for her to pick a fruit. Out of those, 8 are cherries, meaning that the probability of her randomly picking one is 8/48=1/6. Hope this helps!

Find the values of a and b such that
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

a = 1.5

b = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to solve (x+a)^2 and replace the result in the initial equation as:

x^2+3x+4=(x+a)^2+b\\x^2+3x+4=x^2+2ax+a^2+b

Then, this equality apply only if the coefficient of x is equal in both sides and the constant is equal in both sides.

It means that we have two equations:

3x=2ax\\4=a^2+b

So, using the first equation and solving for a, we get:

3x=2ax\\3=2a\\a=\frac{3}{2}=1.5

Finally, replacing the value of a in the second equation and solving for b, we get:

4=a^2+b\\4=1.5^2+b\\b=4-1.5^2\\b=4-2.25\\b=1.75

3. Are these ratios equivalent? 35:28 and 10:8 *
attashe74 [19]

Reduce each ratio to its minimum expression to find if they are equal.

35:28

\begin{gathered} \frac{35}{28}=\frac{7\cdot5}{7\cdot4} \\ =\frac{5}{4} \end{gathered}

10:8

\begin{gathered} \frac{10}{8}=\frac{2\cdot5}{2\cdot4} \\ =\frac{5}{4} \end{gathered}

Since both ratios reduce to 5:4, they are equivalent.

Another way to check a:b is equivalent to c:d, is that a*d = b*c

In this case, this will be true if 35 times 8 is equal to 10 times 28:

\begin{gathered} 35\cdot8=280 \\ 10\cdot28=280 \end{gathered}

Since both products are equal, then the ratios are equivalent.
