The quotient is 14/19.
When dividing fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal

Provide me three coordinate points for the following, given the Slope and Y-intercept. 5. Slope = 7/9, Y intercept = 12(give me

madam [21]

Since we have that the slope is m = 7/9 and the y-intercept is b = 12, we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{7}{9}x+12 \end{gathered}$

to find three coordinate points, we can use arbitrary values on x to get the y-coordinate. To make things easier, let's use x = 9, 18 and 27:

$\begin{gathered} x=9 \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{7}{9}(9)+12=7+12=19 \\ x=18 \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{7}{9}(18)+12=7(2)+12=14+12=26 \\ x=27 \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{7}{9}(27)+12=7(3)+12=21+12=33 \end{gathered}$

therefore, the line with slope m = 7/9 and y-intercept 12 passes through the three points (9,19), (18,26) and (27,33)

a quart of milk cost 73 cents. a CASE OF 12 QUARTS COSTS $7.68 . how much is saved per quart by buying the milk by the case

Nikitich [7]

12*$.73=$8.76-$7.68=$1.08 So it is $1.08 cheaper to buy it by the case.

Hope that helps.

Sally has twice as many dimes as nickels. The total value is $3.50 how many nickels and dimes does she have?

Murljashka [212]

D=2n
.05n+.1d=3.5
I multiplied the nickels and dimes by these values because that is their actual monetary value
.05n=3.5-.1d
multiply everything by 20
n=70-2d
d/2=70-2d
.5d+2d=70
2.5d=70
d=28
n=14
so there are <u>28 dimes and 14 nickels
</u>checking this answer
28 dimes = $2.8
14 nickels = .70
2.8+.7=3.5

1. A luge race is very dangerous, and a crash can cause serious injuries. The league requires anyone who has a crash to have a t

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

0.7061 = 70.61% probability she will have her first crash within the first 30 races she runs this season

Step-by-step explanation:

For each race, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the person has a crash, or the person does not. The probability of having a crash during a race is independent of whether there was a crash in any other race. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

A certain performer has an independent .04 probability of a crash in each race.

This means that $p = 0.04$

a) What is the probability she will have her first crash within the first 30 races she runs this season

This is:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

When $n = 30$

We have that:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{30,0}.(0.04)^{0}.(0.96)^{30} = 0.2939$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.2939 = 0.7061$

0.7061 = 70.61% probability she will have her first crash within the first 30 races she runs this season
