7/10 = x/12 which mean you need to multiply each side by 12 to find x. So the answer would be X= 8.4

12 divided by 8/9 = ?

Oduvanchick [21]

The answer would be 13 1/2 because you turn the 12 into a fraction then change the division sign into a multiplication sign and find the reciprocal of 8/9 which is 9/8 you could now divide 12/1 divided by 9/8 you could cross simply then dove to get 27/2 and in the end you get 13 1/2 if you turn the improper fraction into a mixed number.

In order to set premiums at profitable levels, insurance companies must estimate how much they will have to pay in claims on car

Inessa [10]

Answer:

$595

e) If the company insures a large number of these cars, they can expect the average cost per car to be approximately E(C).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distribution :

C $0 $500 $1000 $2,000

P(C) 0.60 0.05 0.13 0.22

Expected probability : E(C)

Σ[C * P(C)] = (0*0.60) + (500*0.05) + (1000*0.13) + (2000*0.22) = $595

Since the expected value could be interpreted as the average value of a random variable over a large Number of experiment or trials

A fraction becomes 4÷5 if 1 is added to both numerator and denominator. If, however, 5 is subtracted from both numerator and den

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{7}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x+1}{y+1}=\dfrac{4}{5}\\\Rightarrow 5x-4y=-1$

$\dfrac{x-5}{y-5}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow 2x-y=5$

Putting it in matrix form

$\begin{bmatrix}a_{1}&b_{1}\\a_{2}&b_{2}\end{bmatrix}{\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}{c_{1}}\\{c_{2}}\end{bmatrix}\\\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}5 & -4\\2 & -1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-1\\ 5\end{bmatrix}$

From Cramer's rule we have

$x=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix}c_1 &b_1 \\ c_2 & b_2\end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix}a_1 &b_1 \\ a_2& b_2\end{vmatrix}}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix}-1 &-4 \\ 5 & -1\end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix}5 &-4 \\ 2& -1\end{vmatrix}}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1+20}{-5+8}\\\Rightarrow x=7$

$y=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix}a_1 &c_1 \\ a_2 & c_1\end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix}a_1 &b_1 \\ a_2& b_2\end{vmatrix}}\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix}5 &-1 \\ 2 & 5\end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix}5 &-4 \\ 2& -1 \end{vmatrix}}\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{25+2}{-5+8}\\\Rightarrow y=9$
