Answer:
0.01
Step-by-step explanation:
you just have to do the opposite. Since the is n*-5/8 you want to use inverse operation and do -0.4 divided by -5/8 when you do that you end up with 0.01. So the value of n is 0.01
Out of 5 cards in the bag ...
-- There are 2 even numbers . . . 2 and 4 .
-- There are 3 odd numbers . . . 1, 3, and 5 .
So EITHER time, the probability of pulling an even number is 2/5 ,
and the probability of pulling an odd number is 3/5 .
The probability of pulling an even number the first time
AND an odd number the second time is
(2/5) x (3/5) = 6/25 = <em>24%</em> .
Answer: 2 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that a recipe call for 3/4 c of chopped pecans
and that Brentt wants to triple the recipe .
The numerical expression that represents the amount of pecans he will need will be gotten by multiplying 3/4c by 3. This will be:
= 3 × 3/4c
= 9/4c
= 2 1/4
Answer:
3/5 or
0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
You could change these fractions to decimals, but you may not be convinced that the answer you get is the same as just using fractions. I'll start by using fractions.
x - 2/5 = 1/5 Add 2/5 to both sides
x - 2/5 + 2/5 = 1/5 + 2/5 The left side cancels to 0.
x = 1/5 + 2/5 The denominators (bottom the fraction) are the same. Just add the tops.
x = (1 + 2)/5
x = 3/5
=======================
If you use your calculator to find 2/5 and 1/5, you can get the same answer as 3/5
2
÷
5
=
0.4
By the same method, 1/5 = 0.2
Substitute into the original equation
x - 0.4 = 0.2 Add 0.4 to both sides
x - 0.4 +0.4 = 0.2 + 0.4 The left side reduces just to x
x = 0.2 +0.4
x = 0.6
If you let your calculator do the work, like this
3
÷
5
=
0.6
The answers are the same.
