Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller the number, the lesser the chance of it happening.

The probability of 1 means that it will definitely occur and the probability of 0 means it will not occur.

Let's convert all of them to decimals.

Option A ➣ 0.4

Option B ➣ 0.16667 (5 s.f.)

Option C ➣ 0.66667 (5 s.f.)

Hence the smallest number here is ⅙ so it's the least likely to occur. Thus, the answer is B.

Answer:

B.) Probability of 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which of the options is least likely to occur, first convert all of them to the same form (fractions, decimals, percentages, etc.). Since 2 are already in fraction form, let's convert the other one to fraction form as well.

0.4 = 4/10

4/10 = 2/5

Now, the probabilities are 2/5, 1/6, and 2/3. Since 1/6 is the smallest number out of the three, that option is correct; a probability of 2/3 the least likely to occur.

How do you solve x-3/(x-4) + 4= 3x/3

muminat

x - 3/(x - 4) + 4 = 3 × x/3

x^2−19/x−4=x
Step 1: Multiply both sides by x-4.

x^2−19=x^2−4x

x^2−19−x^2=x^2−4x−x^2(Subtract x^2 from both sides)

−19=−4x
−4x=−19(Flip the equation)

−4x/−4=−19/−4 (Divide both sides by -4)Answer.
x=19/4
Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)

Joanie watched 1 3 of a movie in the morning, and she watched some more at night. By the end of the day, she still had 2 5 of th

saw5 [17]

Answer:Joanie watched 4/15 of the movie at night

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total amount of movie to watch = 1 whole since we are dealing with fractions

Amount of movie watched in the morning = 1/3

Amount watched at night = x

Amount remaining= 2/5

so that Total amount of movie to watch - Amount watched in morning and night = Amount remaining to watch

1 - ( 1/3 + x ) = 2/5

1- 2/5 = 1/3 + x

3/5 =1/3 + x

3/5 - 1/3 = x

9- 5/15 = x

x= Amount watched at night = 4/15

good job on increasing our team sales from 90 to 130 units per day.” wow i never thought that we could increase our sales by

artcher [175]

The sales was increased by 44.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets do this cumulative
90 of 10 % = 9 which is 99
90 of 10 % = 9 which is 108
90 of 10% = 9 which is 117
90 of 10% = 9 which is 126
90 of 4 % = 3.6 which is 129.6
90 of 0.044% = 0.0396 which is 129.99
This comes to nearly 44.44 to be closer there was an increase.
Always rule 1 approximation use 50% of 90 if it is above 130.
Down it to 40% of 90 see if the sales is lower than 130.
It should always start with 50,40,30....10 percents.
Alternative should be 10,1 or decimals.
Approximation using decimals rounding up becomes simple.

16+5x=8x-5 What would the variable be?

11111nata11111 [884]

16+5x =8x-5

Reorder the terms
16+5x = -5+8x
Solving for variable for x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add -8x to each side of the equation.
16+ -3x = -5 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 5x + -8x=-3x
16+-3x = -5 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
16+-3x = -5 + 0
16+ -3x = -5

Add -16 to each side of the equation
16+-16 + -3x = -5 + 16

Combine like terms: 16+ -16 = 0
0 + -3x =-5 + -16
-3x = -5 + -16

combine like terms: -5 + -16 = -21
-3x = -21
Divide each side by -3
x=7
