Question seem incorrect because 60%,50% and 20% sum up to more than a 100% therefore we've made a little correction

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = number of favorable outcomes/number of outcomes

Given that 30% are entertained by reading books

50% are entertained by watching TV

20% are entertained by reading books and watching TV

The probability that a person will be entertained by books or TV =

30/100+50/100= 3/10+5/10

=8/10

=0.8

Simplify the expression. (3.14×107)×(1.3×10−3)÷0.2<br> Scientific notation PLS!

marusya05 [52]

$3.14 \times 107 = 335.98$
$(335.98) \times (1.3 \times 10 - 3) \div 0.2$
$1.3 \times 10 = 13 - 3 = 10$
$(335.98) \times (10) \div 0.2$
$335.98 \times 10 = 3359.8$
$3359.8 \div 0.2 = 16799$
$1.6799 \times {10}^{4}$

4 What is the slope of the line represented by the<br> table of values below?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

(c) or 10 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find slope you have to follow the formula

(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

That would give you the slope which in this case is 10.

Use decimals and fractions in the same equation showing the Commutative Property. Repeat for the Associative Property.

Anna71 [15]

For Commutative Property of Addition

Let us take a decimal number $2.14$ and a fraction $\frac{5}{20}$

Now, according to the Commutative property of Addition:

For any two numbers $a$ and $b$ :

$a+b = b+a$

So, for $2.14$ and $\frac{5}{20}$

Let us add

$2.14+\frac{5}{20} = \frac{214}{100} +\frac{5}{20}$

$=\frac{214}{100} + \frac{5 \times 5}{20 \times 5} \\ \\=\frac{214}{100} + \frac{25}{100} \\ \\= 2.14 + 0.25 \\ \\ = 2.39$

Also,

$\frac{5}{20} + 2.14 = \frac{5}{20} + \frac{214}{100}$

$= \frac{5 \times 5}{20 \times 5} +\frac{214}{100} \\ \\= \frac{25}{100} + \frac{214}{100} \\ \\= 0.25 + 2.14 \\ \\ = 2.39$

Therefore, $2.14+\frac{5}{20} = \frac{5}{20} + 2.14$

Hence, Commutative Property of Addition is satisfied.

For Associated Property of Addition

Let us take two same decimal numbers $2.14$ , $7.25$ and a fraction $\frac{5}{20}$

Now, according to the Associated property of Addition:

For any three numbers $a$ , $b$ and $c$

$a + (b+c) =(a+b) + c$

So, for $2.14$ , $7.25$ and $\frac{5}{20}$

The Left hand side:

$a + (b+c)$

$2.14 + (7.25 + \frac{5}{20}) = 2.14 + (\frac{725}{100} + \frac{5 \times 5}{20\times 5})$

$= 2.14 + (\frac{725}{100} + \frac{25 }{100})$

$= 2.14 + (\frac{750}{100} )$

$= \frac{214}{100} + \frac{750}{100}$

$= \frac{964}{100}$

$=9.64$

The Right hand side:

$(a + b )+c$

$(2.14 + 7.25 )+ \frac{5}{20}= ( 9.39 ) + \frac{5 }{20}$

$= 9.39 + \frac{5 \times 5 }{20 \times 5}$

$= 9.39 + \frac{25}{100}$

$= 9.39 + 0.25$

$= 9.64$

Thus,

$(2.14 + (7.25 + \frac{5}{20} )= (2.14 + 7.25 )+ \frac{5}{20}$

Therefore, $2.14+\frac{5}{20} = \frac{5}{20} + 2.14$

Hence, Associative Property of Addition is satisfied.

Can someone help me understand this?

ASHA 777 [7]

< means 'less than'. 3.5 is less than 4.5, so A is correct. Since -4.5 is NEGATIVE it is less than 0. As for C, since both numbers are negative, it would be the seemingly 'smaller' number that is actually bigger. It may help to think of the numbers on a number line. In the negatives, the numbers start to go in reverse, so the further from 0 a negative number is, the smaller it is. -4.5 IS LESS than -3.5. All answers are correct.
