Answer: The answer is 0.1176470588235294, or rounded to the nearest hundredth 0.11, or 11%. There are 26 letters in the alphabet, so 76% that the first character is a lowercase letter. There are 8 possibilities of a number, being 1-8. 2,4,6,and 8 are favored here as the even numbers. This means that there are 4 out of 34 possibilities of the first character being an even number. 4/34 = 0.1176470588235294 or 11%. (This answer is almost a year late so you probably won't even see this)

Edit: Actually, I forgot to round so it would be 12% or 0.12.

So, the first number can be any of the 10 digits (0-9). From these 10 digits, 0,2,4,6, and 8 are even numbers. The total number of even numbers is 5. Therefore, 5 numbers are not even numbers.

So, the probability that a first character is an even number is equal to the number of even divided by the total number of possible outcomes. That is, 
    P\left(even\:number\right)=\frac{5}{5+5}=\frac{5}{10}\:or\:0.50

The probability is 0.50.

Of the 250 students at Moreland middle school, 80% ride the bus to school. Monica wants to know the number of students that ride
LekaFEV [45]
You would put 80 x
—- = ——
250 100

So those are fractions^
The first thing you do here is cross-multiply. (It doesn’t matter which sides you multiply together first)
So 250 times x= 250x
Then cross multiply 80 and 100 to get:
8,000
You now have ur new equation:
250x=8,000
The next thing you do here is divide both sides by 250, since 250 is the number with a variable in it (aka “x”)
You then get:
32 students as you’re final answer.
I hope that helped you understand !

Write a linear function with the values f(-1)=8 and f(5)=6
lukranit [14]
(-1,8) and (5,6) are points on the line.
Slope of line = (8-6)/(-1-5) = 2/(-6) = -⅓
y-6 = -⅓(x-5)
y = -⅓x + 5/3 + 6 = -⅓x + 7⅔
