Answer:

38.46%

Step-by-step explanation:

there are a total of 6 + 7 + 10 + 3 = 26 stamps in marge's collection

out of these 26 stamps, 10 are from the United States (Marge's home country) and 16 are from foreign countries. If she picks a random stamp, the probability that it is from the United States = 10/26 = 5/13 = 0.3846 = 38.46%

Two high schools are going on a field trip. One rents 8 vans and 9 buses for 228 students. The other rents 4 vans and 5 buses fo
nevsk [136]

Answer:

No. pp you can fit in a van: 6,

No. pp you can fit in a bus: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v = # of pp in vans, and let b = # of pp in buses:

8v + 9b = 228,

4v + 5b = 124

If we solve this system of equations by substitution, we isolate the first eq. for v and then substitute into the bottom eq:

v = 228-9b/8,

Substitute v = 228-9b/8 into bottom eq:

[4 * 228-9b/8 + 5b = 125]

[228+b/2=124]

[228+b = 248]

[b = 20]

Now substitute 20 to find no. of pp in the vans:

v = 228 - 9(20)/8 = 228  - 180/8 = 48/8 = 6

If c(x)= 5/x-2 and d(x) = x + 3, what is the domain of (cd)(x)?
Nataly [62]

(fg)(x)=f(x)\cdot g(x)\\\\\text{We have}\ c(x)=\dfrac{5}{x-2}\ \text{and}\ d(x)=x+3.\ \text{Substitute}\\\\(cd)(x)=\dfrac{5}{x-2}\cdot(x+3)=\dfrac{5(x+3)}{x-2}\\\\\text{Domain:}\\\\\text{The denominator must be different than zero. Therefore}\\\\x-2\neq0\to x\neq2\\\\Answer:\ \text{Domain is the set of all real numbers except 2}\to D=\mathbb{R}-\{2\}

Which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions? A. 5⁄6 and 10⁄12 B. 3⁄2 and 2⁄3 C. 3 1⁄2 and 4 4⁄4 D. 6⁄7 and 1
ElenaW [278]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

A.

\frac{5}{6} and \frac{10}{12}

D.

\frac{6}{7} and 1\frac{5}{7}

<h2>Why?</h2>

To find which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions, we must remember that like fractions are the fractions that share the same denominator.

We are given two fractions that are like fractions. Those fractions are:

Option A.

\frac{5}{6} and \frac{10}{12}

We have that:

\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5}{6}

So, we have that the pairs of numbers

\frac{5}{6}

and

\frac{5}{6}

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 6, so, the pairs of numbers contains like fractions.

Option D.

\frac{6}{7} and 1\frac{5}{7}

We have that:

1\frac{5}{7}=1+\frac{5}{7}=\frac{7+5}{7}=\frac{12}{7}

So, we have that the pair of numbers

\frac{6}{7}

and

\frac{12}{7}

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 7, so, the pairs of numbers constains like fractions.

Also, we have that the other given options are not like fractions since both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator.

The other options are:

\frac{3}{2},\frac{2}{3}

and

3\frac{1}{2},4\frac{4}{4}

We can see that both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator so, they do not contain like fractions.

Hence, the answers are:

A.

\frac{5}{6} and \frac{10}{12}

D.

\frac{6}{7} and 1\frac{5}{7}

Have a nice day!
