Answer:

1/8th

Step-by-step explanation: A unit fraction is a rational number written as a fraction where the numerator is one and the denominator is a positive integer. A unit fraction is therefore the reciprocal of a positive integer, 1/n. Examples are 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 ,1/5, etc. so in this case the cake is eight slices so 1/8

How do you do -19+C/3=8 can someone teach how to solve this problem?

ki77a [65]

You're looking for c, so you want to isolate it or get it by itself. To get rid of the /3 you multiply since the opposite of division is multiplication and to get rid of it, you do the opposite (like -9 you would add 9 to get it to 0). Now you are left with -19+c = 24 (the 24 is 8*3 because what you do to one side you do to the other. Now you get c by itself so you add 19 to both sides which leaves you with C= 43. Sorry if this was confusing!

If a coin is tossed 5 times, and then a standard six-sided die is rolled 4 times, and finally a group of three cards are drawn f

Step2247 [10]

Answer: 5,499,187,200

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A coin is tossed 5 times.

There are two options (heads or tails) so the possible outcomes are: 2⁵

A six-sided die is rolled 4 times.

There are six options so the possible outcomes are: 6⁴

A group of 3 cards are drawn (without replacement).

The first outcome has 52 options, the second has 51 options, and the third has 50 options: 52 x 51 x 50

Now if we want the coin AND the die AND the cards, we have to multiply all of their possible outcomes:

2⁵ x 6⁴ x 52 x 51 x 50

= 32 x 1296 x 132,600

= 5,499,187,200

17. Which of the following equations would graph a line parallel to 3y = x + 5? (

Naddik [55]

The equation 3y = x + 1 would graph a line parallel to 3y = x + 5 ⇒ 1st

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have same slopes and different y-intercepts

To find which equation would graph a line parallel to 3y = x + 5

1. Put the equation in the form of y = mx + c

2. m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept

3. Look for the equation which has the same values of m and different

values of c

∵ 3y = x + 5

- Divide each term of the equation by 3 to put the equation in the

form of y = mx + c

∴ y = $\frac{1}{3}$ x + $\frac{5}{3}$

∴ m = $\frac{1}{3}$

∴ c = $\frac{5}{3}$

The first answer:

∵ 3y = x + 1

- Divide each term of the equation by 3

∴ y = $\frac{1}{3}$ x + $\frac{1}{3}$

∴ m = $\frac{1}{3}$

∴ c = $\frac{1}{3}$

∵ The two equations have same slope m = $\frac{1}{3}$

∵ The two equations have different y-intercepts c = $\frac{5}{3}$

and c = $\frac{1}{3}$

∴ 3y = x + 5 and 3y = x + 1 represent two parallel lines

The equation 3y = x + 1 would graph a line parallel to 3y = x + 5
