9 because 8 5/6 is closer to 9 than it is to 8

The rule for rounding is that if the fraction is less than 1/2, we round down; and if the fraction is more than 1/2, we round up.

Because 5/6 is a greater fraction than 1/2, we must round the existing whole number (8), up.

8 5/6 rounded to the nearest whole number is 9.

Consider two people being randomly selected. (For simplicity, ignore leap years.)
inna [77]

Answer:

(a) = \frac{144}{133225} \\\\(b) = \frac{1}{365}

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (a) the probability that two people have a birthday on the 9th of any month.

Neglecting leap year, there are 365 days in a year.

There are 12 possible 9th in months that make a year calendar.

If two people have birthday on 9th; P(1st person) and P(2nd person).

=\frac{12}{365} X\frac{12}{365}  = \frac{144}{133225}

Part (b) the probability that two people have a birthday on the same day of the same month

P(2 people selected have birthday on the same day of same month) + P(2 people selected not having birthday on  same day of same month) = 1

P(2 people selected not having birthday on  same day of same month):

= \frac{365}{365} X \frac{364}{365} =\frac{364}{365}

P(2 people selected have birthday on the same day of same month) = 1-\frac{364}{365} \\\\= \frac{1}{365}

Find the missing number based on the description below:
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

12 less than 7 times a number can be express as follows,

let the number = a

7a - 12

According to the question the number 7a - 12 is equals to 32 less than the product of - 3 and the number.

32 less than the product of -3 and the number can be express below.

-3a - 32. Therefore,

7a - 12 = -3a - 32

collect like terms

7a + 3a = - 32 + 12

10a = -20

divide both sides by 10

a = -20/10

a = -2

The number is -2

Solve the system of linear equations by elimination. Check your solution.
gladu [14]

Answer:

x = 3

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-y) + (x+y) = 4 + 2

2x = 6

x = 3

sub x=3 into x+y=2

3+y=2

y=2-3

y=-1

Check by subbing x=3 and y=-1 into x-y=4

(3)-(-1) = 3+1 = 4
