<h3>Answer: 5/162</h3>

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

Work Shown:

A = probability of landing on an odd number

A = 5/9 because there are 5 odd numbers out of 9 total

B = probability of getting heads

B = 1/2

C = landing on 3 on the spinner

C = 1/9

Multiply the values of A,B,C

A*B*C = (5/9)*(1/2)*(1/9) = (5*1*1)/(9*2*9) = 5/162

Note: The fraction 5/162 converts to the approximate decimal 0.03086 which then converts to 3.086%, when rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent we get 3.1%

Lincoln went to the grocery store and purchased cans of soup and frozen dinners. Each can of soup has 250 mg of sodium and each

Ludmilka [50]

We can solve with a system of equations, and use c for the amount of cans of soup and f for the amount of frozen dinners.

The first equation will represent the amount of sodium. We know the (sodium in one can times the number of cans) plus (sodium in one frozen dinner times the number of dinners) is the expression for the total sodium. We also know the total sodium is 4450, so:

250c + 550f = 4450

The second equation is to find how many of each item are purchased:

c + f = 13

Solve for c in the second equation:

c = 13 - f

Plug this in for c in the first equation:

250(13-f) + 550f = 4450

3250 - 250f + 550f = 4450

300f = 1200

f = 4

Now plug the value for f into the second equation:

c + 4 = 13

c = 9

The answer is 9 cans of soups and 4 frozen dinners.

A scale drawing of a car is presented in the following three scales. Order the scale drawings from smallest to largest. Explain

Elanso [62]

The order of the scale drawings from smallest to largest is

Smallest

1 in to 1 ft

Second smallest

1 in to 1 yd

Largest

1 in to 1 m

Given the following scales:

1 in to 1 ft

1 in to 1 m

1 in to 1 yd

We are to arrange the scales from smallest to largest.

Since 1 in is used as the base conversion for all the scales, we can convert the other scales to yards for consistency's sake.

Convert 1m to yards

1m = 1.1yards (From the question)

Convert 1ft to yards. According to conversion factor;

1 feet = 0.333333 yards

Ordering the scales from smallest to largest will give

0.33333yard (1 in to 1 ft), 1 yard (1 in to 1 yd), 1.1yards (1 in to 1 m)

Explain how you can use absolute value to tell wether the sum of two integers is positive or negative

Rudiy27

Step-by-step explanation:

Using absolute value to tell wether the sum of two integers is positive or negative.

Suppose we have a positive integer,

x and a negative interger, -x and we want to find their sum, we take the absolute values of each of the integers, that is |x| and |-x|. Then we subtract these values: |x| - |-x|. If the larger integer is positive, the result of the difference is positive, but if the larger number is negative, the result of the difference is negative.

For any integer x, x + (-x) = 0
