Answer:

Shane started the problem correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given problem (-5) - (-1 3/4).

Mariah started the problem as (-5) + 1 - 3/4

Shane started the problem as (-5) + 1 + 3/4

We need to find who started the problem correctly.

The problem should be started by converting the mixed fraction into improper fraction i,e

-5-(-1\frac{3}{4})\\=-5-(-1-\frac{3}{4} )\\=-5-(-\frac{7}{4})

Now we will solve bracket by multiplying -1 with term inside the bracket i.e

=-5+\frac{7}{4}

= \frac{-13}{4}

Let's compare both the procedures now:

Mariah:

(-5) + 1 - \frac{3}{4}

=(-5) - \frac{1}{4}

=\frac{-21}{4}

Therefore, Mariah did not start the problem correctly.

Shane:

(-5) + 1 + \frac{3}{4}

= -5 + \frac{7}{4}

= \frac{-13}{4}

Therefore, Shane started the problem correctly.

A school debate team has four girls and six boys. A total of four of the team members will be chosen to participate in the distr
alex41 [277]
Procedure:

1) calculate the number of diferent teams of four members that can be formed (with the ten persons)
2) calculate the number of teams tha meet the specification (two girls and two boys)
3) Divide the positive events by the total number of events: this is the result of 2) by the result in 1)

Solution

1) the number of teams of four members that can be formed are:

10*9*8*7 / (4*3*2*1) = 210

2) Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = ways of chosing 2 boys * ways of chosing 2 girls

Ways of chosing 2 boys = 6*5/2 = 15
Ways of chosing 2 girls = 4*3/2 = 6

Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = 15 * 6 = 90

3) probability of choosing one of the 90 teams formed by 2 boys and 2 girls:

90/210 = 3/7

yarga [219]

Answer:

This is an exponential decay

Because the base of the exponent is 1/4.4 which is less than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

What is exponential growth?

when the base of our exponential is bigger than 1, which means those numbers get bigger.

What is exponential decay?

when the base of our exponential is in between 1 and 0 and those numbers get smaller.
