Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 4 chocolate chips and 12 oatmeal. In total, there are 16 cookies.

The probability of selecting a chocolate chip when you reach in for the first time will be 4/16 or 1/4.

The second time, you reach in, however, there would be one less chocolate chip cookie because you would've pulled one out previously. Thus, the probability is now 3/15 or 1/5.

So, the probability of pulling a chocolate chip cookie consecutively is:

\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{20}

Our answer is A :)

Answer:

A) 1 : 4

B) 1 : 2

C) Base of M = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

The ratio of the area of triangle M to triangle N

\frac {40}{160}= \frac{1}{4} = 1 : 4

B)

The ratio of the side lengths of triangle M to triangle N

\sqrt{ \frac {40}{160}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \\\\={\frac{1}{2}} \\\\=1 : 2

C) Let the base of triangle M be b units.

\sqrt{ \frac {40}{160}} = \frac{b}{20}\\\\\frac{1}{2}=  \frac{b}{20}\\\\2b = 20\\\\b = \frac{20}{2} \\\\b = 10

I can't figure out the equivalent fraction. Whoever gets it first gets brainliest, and please do explaination
cupoosta [38]

Factorize the numerator and denominator. You'll see that they both have a factor of 4 that can be canceled. The introduce a factor of 3 to change the denominator to 36.

\dfrac{28}{48} = \dfrac{4\times7}{4\times12} = \dfrac7{12} = \dfrac{3\times7}{3\times12} = \boxed{\dfrac{21}{36}}

At Raging River Sports, polyester-fill sleeping bags sell for $76. Down-fill sleeping bags sell for $141. In one week the store
Anna [14]

Answer:

The system of equations that can be used to find the number of each type sold is given as:

x + y = 17 ...... Equation 1

76x + 141y = 1460....... Equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x represent the number of polyester-fill bags sold

y represent the number of down-fill bags sold.

In one week the store sold 17 sleeping bags

x + y = 17 ...... Equation 1

x = 17 - y

At Raging River Sports, polyester-fill sleeping bags sell for $76. Down-fill sleeping bags sell for $141. In one week the store sold 17 sleeping bags for $1,460.

Hence:

$76 × x + $141 × y = $1460

76x + 141y = 1460....... Equation 2

Therefore, the system of equations that can be used to find the number of each type sold is given as:

x + y = 17 ...... Equation 1

76x + 141y = 1460....... Equation 2
