1 pencil and 4 pens = 5 total

Picking the pencil would be 1/5 ( 1 pencil out of 5 total items)

5 color pencils  + 5 crayons = 10 total items.

Picking a color pencil would be 5/10 which reduces to 1/2

To find the probability of both happening, multiply them together:

1/5 x 1/2 = 1/10

The probability is 1/10

Hello!

We separate this into three sections

we are looking for a graph that has a line where x is greater than -3 and less than -2 while the circles not shaded since it does have the or equal to sign

The graphs that have this is the first and the third

Next we can look for the graph that has x greater than or equal to -2 and less than 3 with the one at -2 shaded but the one at 3 not

The graph that follows this is the third graph

The answer is the third one

Hope this helps!

Circle A has a diameter of 9 inches, a circumference of 28.26 inches, and an area of 63.585 square inches. The diameter of circl
torisob [31]
Please note that pi has just one value.  The only difference stems from round-off error when you don't use all of the digits following "3.14159 ... " to represent the value of pi.  The formula for circumference is C = 2 pi r, or C = pi d, 
where r=radius and d=diameter.

Circle A:  Diameter 9 inches and Circumference of 28.26 inches

If the diameter is 9 inches, then C = 28.26 inches = pi (9 inches).  Divide 28.26 inches by 9 inches.  Note that you MUST round off the ratio (pi) that you obtain, since 28.26 has 4 significant figures and 9 has just one.

28.26
------- = 3.14, but because 9 has just one significant figure, you must round 
    9           this 3.14 to just 3.
