Her error was that she thought 0.1 and 1/4 were negatives but they are still positive.

She also thought the larger the negative the greatest one. The smaller negative is the greatest because it's bellow 0.

To solve this you would first need to turn 1/4 into 0.25

It would start out with -2 cause that is the least. Then -1. Now its back to positive so the least to greatest would be normal.

So the real answer would be -2, -1, 0.1, 1/4

Mr. Wilson's desk drawer contains 4 black, 3 blue, and 3 red pens. If he selects one pen a random, what is the probability that

gtnhenbr [62]

<h3>Answer: 3/5</h3>

Work Shown:

3 blue + 3 red = 6 pens that are either blue or red

4 black + 3 blue + 3 red = 10 pens total

6/10 = 3/5 is the probability of selecting either blue or red

3/5 = 0.60 = 60%

What is the value of s and the length of side BC if ABCD is a rhombus?

Natali5045456 [20]

Step 1

<u>Find the value of s</u>

we know that

In a Rhombus all sides are congruent

$AB=BC=CD=DA$

$AB=9s+29\\CD=10s-16$

equate AB and CD

$9s+29=10s-16\\$

Combine like term

$10s-9s=29+16\\$

$s=45\ units$

<u>The answer Part a) is</u>

the value of s is $45\ units$

Step 2

<u>Find the value of side AB</u>

$AB=9s+29$

substitute the value of s

$AB=9*45+29=434\ units$

Remember that the sides are congruent

$AB=BC=CD=DA$

therefore

<u>the answer Part b) is</u>

The length of the side BC is $434\ units$
