Let's pose this question a different way: what are the chances that one out of all possible events is going to happen? What are the chances that, if I roll a die, I will roll a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or a 6? What is the probability, if I flip a coin, that the outcome will either be heads or tails? When we take every possible outcome and add their probabilities together, the sum of the probabilities will be 100%, or 1.
Example:
Coin Toss:
Prob of Heads (.5) plus Prob of Tails (.5) = 1
Dice roll:
1/6 (odds of rolling any given number) times 6 (number of possibilities) = 1
Answer:
The number of 57-cent stamps that Julie bought is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation
0.57 s + 0.3 ( s − 6 ) = 8.64
Open bracket
0.57s + 0.3s - 1.8 = 8.64
Collect like terms
0.87s = 8.64 + 1.8
0.87s = 10.44
Divide both sides by 0.87
s = 12
The number of 57-cent stamps that Julie bought is 12

;hivpuvhyphbn;
Step-by-step explanation:
First simplify the section in the parenthesis.
-1/6 + 2/3(8 1/4) + -1/2
Then multiply 2/3 by 8 1/4.
-1/6 + 5 1/2 + -1/2
Add -1/2 to 5 1/2.
-1/6 + 5
Add 5 to -1/6.
4 5/6 is the fully simplified answer.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
y/9 = 2/6
y/9 = 1/3 (dividing by 2in both numerator and denominator.)
CROSS MULTIPLYING WE GET
3y = 9*1
3y = 9
y = 3
