You would subtract 3/8-2/8, which equals 1/8. For drawing a model draw fraction strips to help.

The think the answer for number 7 is A/10
Number 8 is C/16
A * b = 30
a - b = 1
a + b = 11
take ur last 2 equations, and add them
a - b = 1
a + b = 11
--------------add
2a = 12
a = 12/2
a = 6
now its just a matter of subbing
a + b = 11
6 + b = 11
b = 11 - 6
b = 5
so a = 6 and b = 5...whose product is 30, whose difference is 1, and whose sum is 11.
Answer:
B. 0.602%
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is essentially (# times specific event will occur) / (# times general event will occur). Here, we have a few specific events: draw a quarter, draw a second quarter, draw a penny, and draw another penny. The general event will just be the number of coins there are to choose from.
The probability that the first draw is a quarter will be 4 / (4 + 8 + 9) = 4/21.
Since we've drawn one now, there's only 21 - 1 = 20 total coins left. The probability of drawing a second quarter is: (4 - 1) / (21 - 1) = 3/20.
The probability of drawing a penny is: 9 / (20 - 1) = 9/19.
The probability of drawing a second penny is: (9 - 1) / (19 - 1) = 8/18.
Multiply these four probabilities together:
(4/21) * (3/20) * (9/19) * (8/18) = 864 / 143640 ≈ 0.602%
The answer is B.
