well, Marcus and Ben are both 5 feet tall and a little bit more, Marcus is 19/24 more and Ben is 9/16 more, so the 5's in the fraction are the same, so which one is larger, 19/24 or 9/16?
we can simply put both fractions with the same denominator, by <u>multiplying one by the other's denominator</u>, so let's proceed,
The class average would be all the test scores added up and divided by the number of scores.
5+5+1+1+1+1+1+0+0+0+0= 15
15/11=1.37
The class average is 1.37
Answer:
So in your example, the odds are 7:3. In English, that means that if we had a horse race and we held 10 races with the same horses, our favored horse would finish first 7 times and lose the remaining three. But treated as a probability? If we look at it that way, we have 10 possible outcomes and the event of interest (the horse winning) happens 70% of the time. Conversely, the probability of the event not happening (the horse losing) is 30%.

Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
OK, this might sound a bit confusing but I'll give it my best shot.
1. We know all the sides of one triangle, the smaller one. We know that the largest side of the large triangle is 36, and the largest side of our small triangle is 9. This means that they are related.
2. If we take 36 and divide by 9, it gives us 4. This number tells us how much bigger the large triangle is compared to the smaller triangle.
3. Now, we can take the number we just got, 4 and use it to find the other sides of the large triangle.
4. We need the smallest side of the large triangle. We can get this by taking the smallest side of the small triangle, and multiplying it by 4, since we know that the big triangle is 4 times larger than the small one.
5. 4 is the smallest side of the small triangle. We can multiply by 4, which is 16, and your answer!
Answer:
<span>−84</span>
Explanation:
Let x be the unknown number.
From the queston we can form the equation
<span><span>x<span>(−7)</span></span>−2=10</span>
Move <span>−2</span> to the right hand side
<span><span><span>x<span>(−7)</span></span>=10+2</span><span><span>x<span>(−7)</span></span>=12</span></span>
Multiply both sides by <span>−7</span> to get the unkonwn no.
<span><span><span>−7</span>⋅<span>x<span>(−7)</span></span>=12⋅<span>(−7)</span></span><span>
x=−84</span></span>
Hope this helps
