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

andre [41]
You'd need to start by finding what 40% of 280 is. To do this, you turn 40% into a decimal which is .40 . Multiply .40 x 280 which is 112. Then subtract that answer from 280 which is 168 baseball cards. Hope this helped :)

Which statement is true?
defon

Answer:

b. Multiplying decimals less than one is finding a part of a part.

Step-by-step explanation:

A part of a given number implies a selected part of a given number which can be expressed as a fraction of the number. Example, the half of any number is \frac{1}{2}.

The product of a part and another part can be expressed as;

\frac{1}{3} x \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{9}

or,

\frac{1}{2} x \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}

or,

\frac{1}{2} x \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}

The three examples shows: a part x a part.

Therefore, it would be observed that multiplying decimals less than one is the same as finding a part of a part.
