Answer:

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = 0.514

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the captain hits the pirate ship

The probability of the captain hitting the pirate ship, P(A) = 3/5

Let B be the event that the pirate hits the captain's ship

The probability of the pirate hitting the captain's ship P(B) = 1/7

The probability of the pirate missing the captain's ship, P'(B) = 1 - P(B)

P'(B) = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = P(A) * P(B) = 3/5 * 6/7

= 0.514

Perimeter of rectangle 26ft length 6ft what's the width
Mamont248 [21]
To find the missing width/length for the perimeter of a rectangle:

You multiply the found length/width, in this case, the length, by 2. Since there are 2 of the same sides of a rectangle.
6*2 = 12
Now, you have to subtract the perimeter, 26, from the product.
36 - 12 = 24.
You have to divide the difference by 2 because 24 is the 2 missing sides put together.
24/2 = 12
So, the missing width is 12 feet.

Turn the following decimals into a Hours, minutes, seconds format.
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

It is 2 hours, 22 minutes, 48 seconds.

The 2 is obviously 2 hours. For the minutes, .38 * 60 = 22.8, so the minutes is 22. 0.8 * 60 = 48. So 2 hours, 22 minutes and 48 seconds.
