Answer: -5/12
Step-by-step explanation: Before multiplying two fractions together by multiplying across their numerators and multiplying across their denominators, you should always try to cross-cancel as your first step.
So in this problem, the 2 and 8 cross-cancel to 1 and 4.
Also, watch out for your signs. In this problem we have a negative times a positive so we know that our answer will be negative.
Now we can multiply across the numerators and across the denominators.
So we have 5 · 1 which is 5 and 4 · 3 which is 12.
So our answer is -5/12.
Be very careful with your signs!

Answer:
w=5
Step-by-step explanation:
firstly angle SUT and angle SUV are congruent, hence:
w+10=3w
10=3w-w
10=2w
10/2=w
5=w
4+3^2•5-2
Used PEMDAS:
P Parentheses first
E Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)
MD Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)

Answer:
Probability of choosing a penny at random is 1/5 or 0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
For many probabilities like this one, you have to add the total of materials or items together, even if they are different colors, shape, coin type, etc.
you have 12 pennies, 19 nickles, 14 dimes, and 15 quarters. This adds up to a total of 60 coins. Twelve of those are pennies.
You have twelve possible pennies to choose at random from a total of 60 in a bag.
So 12/60/ This simplifies to a probability of 1/5. If you divide 1 by 5 than it would be 0.2
The probability of choosing a penny from a bag of coins is 1/5, or 0.2.
Hope this helps
