The probability that Caroline wins a raffle is given by the expression

Mathematics
1 answer:
RSB [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:  \frac{n-m}{n}

This is the same as writing (n-m)/n

Don't forget about the parenthesis if you go with the second option.

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

Explanation:

The probability that she wins is m/n, where m,n are placeholders for positive whole numbers.

For instance, m = 2 and n = 5 leads to m/n = 2/5. This would mean that out of n = 5 chances, she wins m = 2 times.

The probability of her not winning is 1 - (m/n). We subtract the probability of winning from 1 to get the probability of losing.

We could leave the answer like this, but your teacher says that the answer must be "in the form of a combined single fraction".

Doing a bit of algebra would have these steps

1 - \frac{m}{n}\\\\\frac{n}{n} - \frac{m}{n}\\\\\frac{n-m}{n}\\\\

and now the expression is one single fraction.

ABCD is a parallelogram and this figure is NOT drawn to scale.
dimulka [17.4K]
The angle does not matter. Think of it as finding the other side to a triangle. Use a ^{2} +b^2 =c^2

a=39 (line AB)
b=b (the leg we need to find)
c=89 (line BD)

39^2 + b^2 = 89^2
1521 + b^2 = 7921
(subtract the 1521 from both sides)
b^2 = 6400
(square root both sides)
\sqrt{(b^2)} =  \sqrt{6400} 


b = 80
AD=80

Solve for the indicated variable.
marta [7]

Answer:

Option (c) "r=\dfrac{q}{4c}-h"

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

q = c4(h + r)

We need to solve it for r.

Dividing both sides of the given equation by 4c.

\dfrac{q}{4c}=\dfrac{4c}{4c}(h+r)\\\\(h+r)=\dfrac{q}{4c}

Now, subtract h both sides of the equation.

h+r-h=\dfrac{q}{4c}-h\\\\r=\dfrac{q}{4c}-h

Hence, this is the required solution.
