1/42
First, find the probability of Willie winning the grand prize. He has 1 ticket out of the 7 total tickets, so the probability is 1/7.
Now, find the probability of Emily winning the second prize. After the grand prize winner has been announced, there are only 6 tickets left. Emily has 1, so the probability is 1/6.
Finally, multiply the two probabilities together to find the probability that they will both happen together. To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. This leaves us with (1 * 1) / (7 * 6), which is easy to simplify to 1/42, which is the final probability.
So this is basically a ratio and the form I use to solve these is
Is. = %
Of. 100
So we're looking for 5% of the 350,000 which will be x
X. = 5
350000. 100
Cross multiply
100x=1750000
Divide by 100
X=17500

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: the answer is x=36
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify \frac{1}{8}(x-4)
8
1
(x−4) to \frac{x-4}{8}
8
x−4
.
-\frac{x-4}{8}=-4
−
8
x−4
=−4
2 Multiply both sides by 88.
-x+4=-4\times 8
−x+4=−4×8
3 Simplify 4\times 84×8 to 3232.
-x+4=-32
−x+4=−32
4 Regroup terms.
4-x=-32
4−x=−32
5 Subtract 44 from both sides.
-x=-32-4
−x=−32−4
6 Simplify -32-4−32−4 to -36−36.
-x=-36
−x=−36
7 Multiply both sides by -1−1.
x=36
x=36
