The proportion of 16 to 4 is 4 is 1/4 of 16( 4/16 = 1/4)

So x would be 1/4 of 12

12/4 = 3

X = 3

Need help solving systems by elimination
Tomtit [17]
Ok so 6x - 3y = -21
And 4x = 3y - 9
From the second equation, 4x - 3y = -9
So if you subtract the second from the first,
(6x-3y) - (4x-3y) = -21 - (-9)
So 2x = -12
x = -6

Now we know x=-6, and you can sub it back into any equation:
6(-6) -3y = -21
-36 - 3y = -21
-3y = 15
y = -5

So x=-6 and y=-5
Hope this helps

Using a sixteen-sided number cube, what is the probability that you will roll an even number or an odd prime number? The number
grandymaker [24]
1. Let a: rolling an even number, b: rolling an odd prime number

2. a={2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16}, b={3, 5, 7, 11, 13}

3. So n(a)=8, n(b)=5 , n(Sample Space)=n(S)=16

4. Since a and b are mutually exclusive events, that means they have no common elements, P(a or b)=P(a)+P(b)=\frac{n(a)}{n(S)}+  \frac{n(b)}{n(S)}= \frac{8}{16}+ \frac{5}{16}= \frac{13}{16}= 0.813

8 students are painting 2 boards for a project the students want to divide the work equally.How much the board should each stude
frutty [35]
Ok well if you have 8 students and 2 boards divide the students by 2.
8/2=4
now, if each student wanted to paint part of a board and there are four students then divide 1 by 4
1/4=.25 or 1/4
so 4 students can paint one board while the other 4 students pain the other board

Two dice are tossed. Find the probability of getting the sum of the
pogonyaev

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are talking about a die with 6 faces, then 16 isn't possible. 12 is the highest possible number.

If you are talking about some other kind of die, you have to specify it.

I'm going to assume you made a mistake and meant 6.

There are 5 ways to get six

3 - 3

4 - 2

2 - 4

5 - 1

1  - 5

There are  36 ways of throwing 2 dice.

So the probability = 5/36 = 0.1389

If you really did mean 16 then the probability = 0
