Answer:

7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Odds against are the ratio between losses and wins.

odds against = L / W

Probability of winning is the ratio between wins and all games.

probability = W / games

probability = W / (W + L)

The odds against are 1 to 7.

1/7 = L / W

W = 7 L

The probability is therefore:

P = (7 L) / (7 L + L)

P = 7/8

Plllsss answer! I don't understand this question.
Softa [21]

Answer:

  C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Population density is the ratio of population to area. Its units are persons per square mile. Here, you're being asked to compare the population densities of several countries to the average population density in several US states.

__

<h3>average</h3>

The idea of "average population density of the 10 states listed" is somewhat ambiguous. It could mean either of (a) the ratio of the total of the states' population to the total of their land area, or (b) the average of the population densities of the states. (In the attached, we computed both, but the answer remains the same using either number.)

When there are numerous identical calculations to be performed, it is convenient to let a spreadsheet do them. The attached spreadsheet shows the population densities for the 10 states and 5 countries listed.

Depending on how you define it, the average population density of the 10 states is about 10.5 or about 15.7 people per square mile. (15.7 is the average of the density numbers, found using the spreadsheet AVERAGE function.)

__

<h3>countries</h3>

The 5 countries have population densities ranging from about 7.7 to 236 people per square mile. Two of the countries have density below 10.5, so are the answers to the question asked.

  Canada (C) and Iceland (D) have population density below the US state average.

Compare the values of each 3 in the number 633,248
ipn [44]
633,248.
The difference of each 3 is that they have different place values.
The 3 on the right side is int he 1000s (thousands) place, and the 3 on the left is in the 10,000s (ten thousands) place. :) 

The one in the 10,000s place is 10 times larger than the one in the 1,000s place!

In triangle KLM, if K is congruent to L, KL = 9x - 40, LM = 7x - 37, &amp; KM = 3x + 23, find x &amp; the measure of each angle.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: x = 15, ∠K = 45.7°, ∠L = 45.7°, ∠M = 88.6°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Since ∠K ≅ ∠L, then ΔKLM is an isoceles triangle with base KL

 KM ≅ LM

3x + 23 = 7x - 37

       23 = 4x - 37

       60 = 4x

        15 = x

KM = LM = 3x + 23

               = 3(15) + 23

               = 45 + 23

               = 68

KL = 9x - 40

    = 9(15) - 40

    = 135 - 40

    = 95

Next, draw a perpendicular bisector KN from K to KL. Thus, N is the midpoint of KL and ΔMNL is a right triangle.

  • Since N is the midpoint of KL and KL = 95, then NL = 47.5
  • Since ∠N is 90°, then NL is adjacent to ∠l and ML is the hypotenuse

Use trig to solve for ∠L (which equals ∠K):

cos ∠L = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

cos ∠L = \frac{47.5}{68}

      ∠L = cos⁻¹ (\frac{47.5}{68})

      ∠L = 45.7  

Triangle sum Theorem:

∠K + ∠L + ∠M = 180°    

45.7 + 45.7 + ∠M = 180

       91.4     + ∠M = 180

                      ∠M = 88.6

Answer:

with these characteristics, place the

semi-ellipse on coordinate axes in a convenient position and draw it.

5. What is the equation of the ellipse? How wide will the canal need to be for the

Petroleum ship?

6. Now that you know which of the two alternatives provides the widest channel, consider other

factors. His department is also in charge of verifying the depth of the channel, the

amount of river traffic and other details. For example, if there was a flood in the river and

the water level will rise 10 feet, how would free space be affected? Take a decision

about which project you think would be best as far as your department is concerned and
