Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much of a meter she used per bow, divide 4 by 20, since she used 4 meters for 20 bows:

4/20

= 0.2 or 1/5

So, she used 1/5 of a meter for each bow

Answer:

x=53

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagoras theorem

a^2 + b^2 =c^2

here a and b are two small sides and c is hypotenuse (longest side)

28^2 + 45^2 = c^2

784 + 2025 =x^2

2809 =x^2

$\sqrt{2809}$ =x

sergeinik [125]

Question 1

There are 5 letters (B, O, K, E, R) and there is a total of 10 letters to make up the word.
There are $\frac{10!}{(10-6)!6!}$ ways of arranging the letters, which equal to 210 ways

Question 2

There are seven swimmers in total.
There are $\frac{7!}{(7-1)!1!}$ ways of choosing the first winner, which is 7 ways
There are $\frac{6!}{(6-1)!1!}$ ways of choosing the second winner, which is 6 ways
There are $\frac{5!}{(5-1)!1!}$ ways of choosing the third winner, which is 5 ways
There are 7×6×5=210 ways of choosing first, second, and third winner

Question 3

The probability of eating an orange and a red candy is $\frac{15}{31}$ × $\frac{9}{30}$ , which equals to $\frac{9}{62}$

The probability of eating two green candies is $\frac{7}{31}$ × $\frac{6}{30}$ which equals to $\frac{7}{155}$
