Answer:
2 marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Lana has 3 bags with x marbles in each bag totaling 12 marbles
3x=12
Divide by 3
3x/3 =12/3
x =4
Each bag has 4 marbles
Markus has 3 bags with y marbles totaling 18 marbles
3y =18
Divide each side by 3
3y/3 =18/3
y =6
Each bag has 6 marbles
6-4 =2
There are 2 more marbles in Markus' bags than in Lara's
You just need to do 12 1/5 ÷ 1 4/5.
To do this, first convert both fractions to improper fractions or topheavy fractions.
12 1/5 -
15 × 5 is 60, 60 + 1 is 61 so 12 1/5 = 61/5
1 4/5 -
1 × 5 is 5 and 5 + 4 is 9. 1 4/5 = 9/5
To divide fractions, you do keep, chang, flip (keep the 1st fraction, change the ÷ to ×, and flip the 2nd fraction)
the question starts as 61/5 ÷ 9/5 and becomes 61/5 × 5/9
multiplication in fractions is literally just numerator × numerator / denominator × denominator.
61 × 5 is 305. 5 × 9 is 45. the fraction is 305/45.
however, we need a whole number. 305/45 converted into a decimal is 6.7777778 (6.7 recurring). obviously you can't put a fraction of a book onto a shelt, so you round it down to the nearest whole number, which is 6.
final answer: 6
Yes, if you divide 11 by 3 you get 3.6
Answer:
0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.
Step-by-step explanation:
A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.
The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value between c and d is given by:
A particular employee arrives at work sometime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.
We can consider 8 am = 0, and 8:30 am = 30, so 
Find the probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.
Between 15 and 25, so:
0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.
