Answer:

For your area models you would draw two rectangles and divide one into 2 equal sections, and the other one with 8 equal sections. You then shade 1 box out of the first triangle with 2 equal sides. Then you would shade 7 boxes on the rectangle with 8 equal sides. These diagrams would show you that 7/8 and 1/2 are not equivalent.

To find out what fractions are equivalent to 1/2 you would take 1/2 and times the numerator and denominator by the same number.

1/2*2/2= 2/4

2/4=1/2

1/2*9/9= 9/18

9/18=1/2

2/4 and 9/18 both equal 1/2

Hope this helps ;)

Of the coffee makers sold in an appliance​ store, 4.0% have either a faulty switch or a defective​ cord, 2.5% have a faulty​ swi
lukranit [14]

Answer: Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let A be the event of getting a faulty switch.

Let B be the event of getting a defective cord.

Here, P(A∪B) = 4% = 0.04

P(A∩B) = 0.1% = 0.001

P(A) = 2.5% = 0.025

We need to find P(B):

As we know that

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.025-0.001\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.024\\\\P(A)=0.04-0.024=0.376

Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.

Okay so this is a wild guess but I would say 12. The whole angle is 90, but only 1/3 of that is in the smaller portion of the triangle. So, I assumed that 1/3 of the length of the whole triangle. Three times 6 is 18 and minus AD is 12. So BD=12? This is my best guess hope it helps

Substitute x with (-2) and y with (-4)<br> Simplify: 5(41 - x) + {-7(y + x)} =
kkurt [141]

Answer:

257

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to evaluate:

5(41 - x) + ( - 7(y + x)

for x=-2 and y=-4.

We substitute to get:

5(41 -  - 2) + ( - 7( - 4 +  - 2)

We now simplify to get:

5(41  + 2)  - 7( - 6)

5 \times 43 + 42

215 + 42 = 257
