Answer:

Probability of coin not land on island = 38.25 / 45

Explanation:

Given:

Length of rectangular fountain = 9 ft

Width of rectangular fountain = 5 ft

Side of square island = 1.5 ft

Number of island = 3

Find:

Probability of coin not land on island

Computation:

Area of fountain = 9 x 5

Area of fountain = 45 ft²

Area of three island = 3[Side²]

Area of three island = 3[1.5²]

Area of three island = 6.75 ft²

Probability of coin not land on island = [Area of fountain - Area of three island] / Area of fountain

Probability of coin not land on island = [45 - 6.75] / 45

Probability of coin not land on island = 38.25 / 45

madreJ [45]
I think the insurance that they should purchase is: C. supplemental insurance

Dental insurance is not covered by Medicare, so both HMO and  Point of service is out of the option.
I think supplemental insurance will be the best option because it is the type of insurance sold by private companies that specifically cover the policies that are not covered by normal Medicare.

What is 17/9 as a whole number
Julli [10]
Haha, I used to do IXL all the time. Continuing onto the question, it's asking it in mixed number form..

17/9, how many 9's go into 17? I'd say 1 time, or if we 2 we'd go over.

so 1 times 9 = 9

What's the remainder? 17-9=8

so you've got only one whole 9, and 8 left over

so {{ 1 8/9 }} is the answer
