white : milk : dark

w : m : d

The ratio of white to not white is 3:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4

The ratio of not dark to dark is 17:4.

(w+m) : d = 17:4

---------

We treat the colons as fraction bars and cross multiply.

4w = 3(m+d) = 3m + 3d

4w + 4m = 17 d

Subtracting,

4m = 17d - (3m+3d) = 14d - 3m

7m = 14 d

m/d = 14/7

m:d = 2:1

Since w:(m+d)=3:4 let's make m+d a multiple of 4.

m:d = 8:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4 = 9:12

w:m:d = 9:8:4

Answer: 9:8:4

Check:

white to non white 9 to 8+4=12 = 3:4, good

non dark to dark (9+8):4=17:4, good

A regular six sided die and an eight equal segment spinner, numbered 1 to 8, are rolled/spun simultaneously. What are the odds i
kirill [66]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, the probability of both an event A and an event B happening is equal to the probability of A happening multiplied by the probability of event B happening.

Let's say spinning a prime number is event A and rolling a number ≤ 4 is event B.

There are 8 possibilities on an eight equal segment spinner, and there are 4 prime numbers between 1 and 8 (including 8), which are 2, 3, 5, and 7. This means that the probability of spinning a prime number is 4/8, or 1/2

There are 6 possibilities on a die, and there are 4 possibilities of rolling a 4 or less (1, 2, 3, 4). Therefore, the probability of rolling 4 or less on a die is 4/6, or 2/3

The probability of both of these happening can be calculated by multiplying these together, so 1/2 * 2/3 = 2/6 = 1/3

Line segment AB has endpoints A(1,8) and B(7,−4). What are the coordinates of the point located 5/6 of the way from A to B?
const2013 [10]

The coordinate of the point is (6,-2)

<h3>How to determine the coordinate of the point?</h3>

The given parameters are:

A = (1,8)

B = (7,-4)

The location of the point (i.e 5/6) means that the ratio is:

m :n = 5 : (6 - 5)

m : n = 5 : 1

The coordinate of the point is then calculated as:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{m + n}* (mx_2 + nx_1,my_2 + ny_1)

So, we have:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{5 + 1}* (5 * 7 + 1 * 1 , 5 * -4 + 1 * 8)

Evaluate

(x,y) = \frac{1}{6}* (36 , -12)

Evaluate the product

(x,y) = (6,-2)

Hence, the coordinate of the point is (6,-2)
