Answer:
5. 43 / 6
6. 8.027778
2. -0.167
4. 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
5. Conversion a mixed number to a improper fraction: 9 2/3 = 9 · 3 + 2 /3 = 29/3
Conversion a mixed number to a improper fraction: 2 1/2 = 2 · 2 + 1 /2 = 5/2
Subtract: 29/3 - 5/2 = 29 · 2 / 3 · 2 - 5 · 3 / 2 · 3 = 58 / 6 - 15 / 6 = 58 - 15 / 6 = 43 / 6
6. 2 4/9 + 5 7/12 = 289 / 36 = 81 / 36 = 8.027778
2. 3/4 - 11/12 = -1 / 6 =-0.1666667
4. 1 9/10 - 2/5 = 3 / 2 = 11 / 2 = 1.5
Answer: 5, 8
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The difference between 3 times a number and -8 is BETWEEN 23 and 32
Note: "difference" means subtraction --> 3x - (-8) --> 3x + 8
23 < 3x + 8 < 32
15 < 3x < 24 <em> subtracted 8 from all 3 sides</em>
--> 5 < x < 8 <em>divided 3 from all 3 sides</em>
The probability that the person pulls 1 blue M&M given that one is only allowed to pull 5 random M&M's per day will be 0.6450.
<h3>How to calculate probability?</h3>
From the information given, there are 1,023 M&M's in a bag and out of 1,023 M&M's, 132 M&M's are blue.
Therefore, the probability of getting a blue M&M will be:
= 132/1023
= 0.1290
Therefore, since the person is given the chance to pull 5 random M&M's per day, the probability will be:
= 0.1290 × 5
= 0.6450
