How do you know that 1.026÷5.051≠0.02 without doing the division?

OLga [1]

Answer:

Mental Math and Logic

Step-by-step explanation:

You might not have access to a calculator, so when times comes like this when you have to validate a statement if wrong or right, mental math comes in help.

You only need the approximate number to do something like mental math. Both numbers divided by each other, is really close to their whole numbers of 1 and 5, respectively. If you divide 1/5, you get 0.2, which is not what the answer is. 0.02 and 0.2 are very different answers, and you would not get 0.02 no matter how many decimals after that 1.0 and 5.0.

Which means the statement is not true based on logic and mental math.

A survey was conducted with 100 people. 20% said they liked Star Trek , 75% said they liked Star Wars, and 10% said they liked b

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The probability is 1/4 or 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 100% matches the 100 value, we can have the percentage as the number of people that actually likes a particular movie

This mean; 20 people liked star Trek, 75 people liked Star wars and 10 people liked both

Let the number of people that liked neither be x

Mathematically, we can have the sum as follows for the set notation;

100 = (75-10) + (20-10) + 10 + x

100 = 65 + 10 + 10 + x

100 = 85 + x

x = 100-85

x = 15

What this mean is that 15 persons liked neither

The probability of selecting a random that likes both movies is simply the number of people that liked both/total number of people on the survey

Mathematically, that will be 10/100 = 1/10

For the probability that likes neither, we have the number that liked neither as 15

So the probability of selecting someone from here is 15/100 = 3/20

Since we have or between both probabilities, we will need to add both

So, mathematically, we have it that;

3/20 + 1/10 = (3 + 2)/20 = 5/20 = 1/4 or simply 25%

I need help asap!! <br> if p= -1, 5 Rx axis (P)

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

P'(7, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rule for the transformation of a point $R_{x=1}(P)$ defines,

Reflection of a point P(x, y) about a line, x = 1 which is parallel to y-axis.

Line x = 1 works like a mirror so the distance between the line and the image point will be equal to the distance between the line and the original point.

Distance between the line and a point (-1, 5) = 4

Therefore, distance between the line and the image point = 4

Coordinates of the image point will be,

P'(3, 5)
