Answer:

The fraction of the book that Rena read every day is \frac{4}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

Rena spent 6 days reading her book completing the same fraction of the book every day and you want to know the fraction of the book she read each day. Knowing that Rena had a total of 8/9 of her book read after 6 days, then you simply divide the total amount of the book read during those days by 6, the number of days:  

\frac{8}{9}÷6

To divide a fraction by a whole number, you must convert the whole number into a fraction, finding the reciprocal of that fraction, and multiply it by the first fraction. That is, you must find the reciprocal of the number that is after the division symbol; and then you multiply the first number (the one before the division symbol) by the reciprocal of the second number (the one after the division symbol). Remember that to find the reciprocal of a number, you simply have to change the numerator and denominator of the number.

Since 6 can be considered to be a fraction equal to \frac{6}{1}, by inverting the number, then you get \frac{1}{6}

Then:

\frac{8}{9}÷6= \frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}

Now you multiply the numerators and denominators of the fraction to get the new numerator and denominator of the final solution.

\frac{8}{9}÷6= \frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}=\frac{8*1}{9*6} =\frac{8}{54}

Finally, simplifying the fraction:

\frac{8}{9}÷6= \frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}=\frac{8*1}{9*6} =\frac{8}{54}=\frac{4}{27}

So:

\frac{8}{9}÷6= \frac{4}{27}

<u><em>The fraction of the book that Rena read every day is </em></u>\frac{4}{27}<u><em></em></u>

In the figure, what is the value of x?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

  90

Step-by-step explanation:

In the quadrilateral formed by two tangents and the associated radii, the central angle and the external angle are supplementary. Here, that means that x° is supplementary to itself, so must be 90°.

  x = 90

A bag contains 20 slips of paper Individually numbered. If a slip of paper and a letter in the word PENNSYLVANIA is chosen at ra
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

P(M4\ n\ V) = 2.083\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Paper = 20 slips

Word: PENNSYLVANIA

Required

Determine P(Multiple of 4 and V)

The sample size of the 20 slips is:

n(S) = 20

The outcomes of multiples of 4 is:

M4= \{4,8,12,16,20\}

n(M4) = 5

So, the probability of multiples of 4 is:

Pr(M4) = \frac{5}{20}

Pr(M4) = \frac{1}{4}

The sample size of PENNSYLVANIA is:

n(S) = 12

The outcome of V is:

n(V) = 1

So, the probability of V is:

P(V) = \frac{1}{12}

So, the required probability is: P(Multiple of 4 and V)

P(M4\ n\ V) = P(M4) * P(V)

P(M4\ n\ V) = \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{12}

P(M4\ n\ V) = \frac{1}{48}

P(M4\ n\ V) = 0.02083

Express as percentage

P(M4\ n\ V) = 0.02083 * 100\%

P(M4\ n\ V) = 2.083\%
