Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Write down the whole number answer.
Then write down any remainder above the denominator.

EXAMPLE: Turning 4/3 into an improper fraction
In order to turn an improper fraction into a mixed fraction, you need to find the closest number to multiply the denominator by to get the numerator (ex: 3 times 1 is the closest number to 4). Then you would subtract that number after it was multiplied (in this case 1x3= 3) from the original numerator (so 4-3 = 1.) The answer for this question is 1 and 1/3.
Another example: 15/4 is 3 and 3/4 as a mixed number because 15 divided by 4 is closest to 3 (3x4 is 12 and 3x5 is 15, which is too large) with a remainder of 3. The closest multiple is the whole number and the remainder is the new numerator.
Hope this helps! I'm sorry if it's confusing-- it's easier to explain with paper and pencil :)

The probability is 0.8997.

We will use a z-score to answer this question. z-scores are given by the formula
$z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

With our information, we have
$z=\frac{622-590}{25}=\frac{32}{25}=1.28$

Looking this up in a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that the area to the left of this (everything less than, up to this value) is 0.8997.

One angle of a parallelogram is 5 times another angle of the parallelogram. The measure of the largest angle of the parallelogra

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

150 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = measure of smaller angle

let 5x = measure of larger angle

larger angle plus smaller angle = 180

5x + x = 180

6x = 180

x = 30°

5(30) = 150°
