The number of possible outcomes is 2*2*2 = 8

The number of ways of getting 3 tails is 1

Lia has a red ribbon that is 2 1/12 inches long she has a blue ribbon that is 4 time as many inches as long how many inches long

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

8 1/3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the ribbon = 2 1/12 inches

Blue ribbon is 4 time as many inches as long as red

Length of the blue ribbon = 4 * 2 1/12

Length of the blue ribbon = 4 * 25/12

Length of the blue ribbon = 100/12

Length of the blue ribbon= 25/3

Length of the blue ribbon = 8 1/3 inches

Hence the blue ribbon is 8 1/3 inches long

55.2 = 9.2v

v= 55.2 / 9.2 = 6

How many solutions does the system below have?<br> y=1/2x+1<br> 2y - x = 2

kvasek [131]

Answer:

infinitely many

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite these equations as

y = (1/2)x + 1

2y = x + 2

and then solve the second for y: y = (1/2)x + 1. Note that these end results are identical. The two lines coincide; that is, one lies right on top of the other. Thus, there are infinitely many solutions.
