Answer:

0.63333333333... or 19/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how to subtract 1/5 from 5/6:

5/6-1/5

Step 1

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 5 by 5, and get 25.

Then we multiply 1 by 6, and get 6.

Next we give both terms new denominators ~ 6 × 5 = 30.

So now our fractions look like this:

25 /30 − 6 /30

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

25 − 6 = 19

So the answer is: 19 /30

Step 3 

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

No, we can't. Therefore the answer is 19/30, or in decimal form, 0.633333333.

Answer:

= $\frac{4x^{3}}{16 x^{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4(x^{3} )(2x)^{-4}$

= $\frac{4x^{3}}{(2x)^{4}}$

= $\frac{4x^{3}}{2^{4} x^{4}}$

= $\frac{4x^{3}}{16 x^{4}}$

Helga [31]

Answer:

The correct option is D. 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 8 volunteers including Andrew and Karen, 4 people are to be selected at random to organize a charity event.

We need to determine the probability Andrew will be among the 4 volunteers selected and Karen will not.

We want to select Andrew and 3 others but not Karen in the group.

Thus, the number of ways to select 3 member out of 8-2=6

(We subtract 2 from 8 because Andrew is already selected and we don't want Karen to be selected, so subtract 2 from 8.)

The required probability is:

$\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{\frac{6!}{3!3!}}{\frac{8!}{4!4!}}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\frac{20}{70}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{2}{7}$

Hence, the correct option is D. 2/7
