Answer:

5/6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of hours it will take to walk 1/6 of a mile:

\frac{1/5}{1} = \frac{1/6}{x}

Cross multiply and solve for x:

1/5x = 1/6

x = 5/6

So, it will take the tortoise 5/6 hours to walk 1/6 of a mile

Which pair shows equivalent expressions?
DENIUS [597]

2(\frac{2}{5}x + 4) =  \frac{4}{5}x + 4 which is the second option is the equivalent expression.

Explanation:

First,  we need to calculate the value of two-fifths of x. It means 2 portions out of the five portions of x which equates to \frac{2}{5}x.

Now we calculate the values of the two expresssions on the LHS.

1) 2 (two-fifths x + 2) = 2 (\frac{2}{5}x + 2) = \frac{4}{5}x + 4.

2)  (two-fifths x + 4) = 2(\frac{2}{5}x + 4) =  \frac{4}{5}x + 8.

Now we determine values of the four expressions on the RHS.

1) Two and two-fifths x + 1 = 2\frac{2}{5}x + 1

2) Four-fifths x + 4 = \frac{4}{5}x + 4

3) Four-fifths x + 2 = \frac{4}{5}x + 2

4) Two and two-fifths x + 8 = 2\frac{2}{5}x + 8.

Out of the various LHS and RHS values, the 1^{st} LHS value and 2^{nd} RHS value is the same. So option 2 is the answer.

Sure.  From those choices, the only one that makes sense is that he
didn't perform enough trials.  Technically, you can't expect the experimental
probability to match the theoretical probability until you've rolled it an infinite
number of times.

I have a hunch that even for only 60 trials, such a great discrepancy between
theory and experiment is beginning to suggest that the cubie is loaded.  But
you really can't say.  You just have to keep trying and watch how the numbers
add up.
