Answer:

230

Step-by-step explanation:

12 sections total

5 red, 4 green, the rest black

12-5-4 = 3 sections are black

3/12 = 1/4 of the sections are black

1/4 represents the probability of landing on black for one spin

(1/4)*921 = 230.25 which rounds to 230

We expect to land on a black section about 230 times out of 921 times total.

PLEASE HELP!!

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The bird is approximately 9 ft high up in the tree

Explanation:

The required diagram is shown in the attached image

Note that the tree, the cat and the ground form a right-angled triangle

Therefore, we can apply special trigonometric functions

These functions are as follows:

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \\ \\ cos(\alpha)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\ \\tan(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Now, taking a look at our diagram, we can note the following:

α = 25°

The opposite side is the required height (x)

The adjacent side is the distance between the cat and the tree = 20 ft

Therefore, we can use the tan function

This is done as follows:

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\ \\ tan(25)=\frac{x}{20}\\ \\x=20tan(25) = 9. 32 ft$ which is 9 ft approximated to the nearest ft

Hope this helps :)

Martin has 128 pencils that he is putting

rosijanka [135]

128 pencils divided by 6 pencils that can be put in a box; 128÷6=21 with a remainder of 3

Martin needs 3 more pencils for the last box, beacuse he has 3 leftovers and 6 can go into the box. 6-3=3

There are 24 adults and 30 children at a science museum

vovikov84 [41]

Okay so let’s start by figuring what the total number of people is. To get that we add 24 and 30.
24+30= 54
So we have a total of 54 people.
Now, how many children are there?
30 children... which means the ratio is 30:54

Thirty children to fifty four people total at the museum.

Hope this helps!
