Answer:

not picking a circle, not picking a square, and picking a shape that has only straight edges.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these are 6/8, or 3/4.

Theoretical probability formula: Favorable Outcomes/All Possible Outcomes

So let's find the theoretical probability for each option.

"Not picking a square"

So, there are 2 squares out of the 8 total shapes (2 circles + 4 triangles + 2 squares) So do 8-2=6... This is subtracting the number of squares out. So we are now left with 6/8.. Reduce the fraction: GCF is 2, so 6/8 simplifies to 3/4. So, "Not picking a square" is an option!

"Picking a square"

Okay so there are 2 squares (favorable outcome) out of 8 shapes in total (all possible outcomes) so the fraction is 2/8. Now simplify: GCF = 2, so 2/8 = 1/4. "Picking a square" is NOT an option

"Picking a triangle"

There are 4 triangles out of 8 shapes, so the fraction is 4/8 which = 1/2. The theoretical probability of picking a triangle is 1/2 and thus NOT an option.

"Picking a shape that has only straight edges"

So this basically means every shape that's not a circle. So, there are 4 triangles + 2 squares = 6 total shapes with straight edges. So there are 6 shapes with straight edges out of 8 total shapes: 6/8 reduces to 3/4. "Picking a shape that has only straight edges" IS an option! :D

LASTLY!

"Not picking a circle"

There are only 2 circles out of 8 total shapes, so 8-2=6 so the fraction is 6/8. This reduces to 3/4. "Not picking a circle" Is an option!

CORRECT ANSWERS:

Not picking a square

Picking a shape that has only straight edges

Not picking a circle

Have a good day!

What is 4855/200 simplified

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The answer is 2427.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction consists of two numbers and a fraction bar: 4,855/200

The number above the bar is called numerator: 4,855

The number below the bar is called denominator: 200

The fraction bar means that the two numbers are dividing themselves.

To get fraction's value divide the numerator by the denominator:

Value = 4,855 ÷ 200

To calculate the greatest common factor, GCF:

1. Build the prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator.

2. Multiply all the common prime factors, by the lowest exponents.

Factor both the numerator and denominator, break them down to prime factors:

Prime Factorization of a number: finding the prime numbers that multiply together to make that number.

4,855 = 5 × 971;

4,855 is a composite number;

In exponential notation:

200 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 = 23 × 52;

200 is a composite number;

Katie gives Maggie half of her pencils. Maggie keeps 5 pencils and gives the rest to Jamil. A. Write an expression for the numbe

Alexandra [31]

Here's what I mean when I write x/2 JUST IN CASE.

а.

Let the total number of pencils be x, then this implies that Maggie received x/2 pencils from Katie. Maggie keeps 5 and give the rest to Jamil, this means

that Jamil receives

x/2-5 pencils.

b. Expression of pencils given to Jamil is: x/2-5

Substitute x=16 in this expression: x/2-5

Simplify and evaluate: = 8-5= 3

Maggie gives 3 pencils to Jamil.

c. Expression of pencils given to Jamil is: x/2-5 to

Equate this expression with 1 to form an equation and solve for x all, the total

number of pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil:

x/2 - 5 = 1

Solve for x:

x = 2(1+ 5)

Evaluate:

x = 2(6) = 12

Katie had 12 pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil.

RESULT

a. Expression of number of pencils given to Jamil is x/2-5, where x is total number of pencils.

b. Maggie gives 3 pencils to Jamil.

c. Katie had 12 pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil.
