Answer: 17/18

In words, this is seventeen eighteenths

==========================================

Work Shown:

4/9 + 9/18

8/18 + 9/18 ... see note below

(8+9)/18

17/18

----------------

note: To go from 4/9 to 8/18, we multiply top and bottom by 2. So that's why 4/9 = 8/18.

The diagram below shows a visual representation of why 4/9 = 8/18.

In the top row, I've drawn out 9 rectangles of the same size. Then I've shaded 4 of the 9 rectangles to represent the fraction 4/9. In the bottom row, I've cut each of those 9 rectangles into two smaller equal pieces, so we have 9*2 = 18 rectangles now. Note how the shaded regions are the same size, so this shows 4 green regions doubles to 2*4 = 8 yellow regions; therefore 4/9 is the same as 8/18.

The volume

Sedaia [141]

$\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ k}}&\cdot&x
&& y={{ k }}x
\end{array}\\ \quad \\
$

and also

$\bf \begin{array}{llllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies inversely to}&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{some value}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{\textit{something else}}\\ \quad \\
y&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{k}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{x}
&&y=\cfrac{{{ k}}}{x}
\end{array}
$

now, we know that V varies directly to T and inversely to P simultaneously
thus $\bf V=T\cdot \cfrac{k}{P}$

so $\bf V=T\cdot \cfrac{k}{P}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
V=42\\
T=84\\
P=8
\end{cases}\implies 42=\cfrac{84k}{8}\implies 4=k
\\\\\\
V=\cfrac{4T}{P}\qquad now\quad 
\begin{cases}
V=74\\
P=10
\end{cases}\implies 74=\cfrac{4T}{10}\implies 185=T$

In one town 44% of all voters are Democrats if two voters are randomly selected for a survey find the probability that they are

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

0.194

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that BOTH are democrats means probability of "one being democrat" AND "another also being democrat".

The AND means we need to MULTIPLY the individual probability of a person being democrat.

Probability that a voter is democrat is 44% (0.44) -- stated in the problem

Now, Probability BOTH being Democrats is simply MULTIPLYING 0.44 with 0.44

$0.44*0.44=0.1936$

Rounded to nearest thousandth, 0.194

Last answer choice is correct.
