Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth (b) of a rectangle be x

Then Length (L) = 2x

Now

Perimeter of the rectangle = 15 inches

Or, 2(L + b) = 15

2 ( 2x + x) = 15

2* 3x = 15

6x = 15

x = 15 / 6

x = 2.5 inch

Also Now

Length (L) = 2*2.5 = 5 inches

Breadth (b) = 2.5 inches

Hope it will help :)

The probability that Caroline wins a raffle is given by the expression
RSB [31]

Answer:  \frac{n-m}{n}

This is the same as writing (n-m)/n

Don't forget about the parenthesis if you go with the second option.

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

Explanation:

The probability that she wins is m/n, where m,n are placeholders for positive whole numbers.

For instance, m = 2 and n = 5 leads to m/n = 2/5. This would mean that out of n = 5 chances, she wins m = 2 times.

The probability of her not winning is 1 - (m/n). We subtract the probability of winning from 1 to get the probability of losing.

We could leave the answer like this, but your teacher says that the answer must be "in the form of a combined single fraction".

Doing a bit of algebra would have these steps

1 - \frac{m}{n}\\\\\frac{n}{n} - \frac{m}{n}\\\\\frac{n-m}{n}\\\\

and now the expression is one single fraction.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

11:45\ am

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance between Kiran and Clare is 24 miles. They started walking at 8.00 am.

Speed of Kiran is 3 miles/hr and speed of Clare is 3.4 miles/hr.

So the relative speed of them is,

=3+3.4=6.4 miles/hr

Both the speed are added as they moving in opposite direction.

We know that,

\text{Relative speed}=\dfrac{\text{Relative distance}}{\text{Time}}

i.e \text{Time}=\dfrac{\text{Relative distance}}{\text{Relative speed}}

Putting the values,

t=\dfrac{24}{6.4}=3.75\ hr=3\ hr\ 45\ min

As they started at 8.00 am, so the time at which will meet will be,

=8+3\ hr\ 45\ min=11:45
