Answer:

The new jar would be smaller than the original.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would have to find one 1/5 of the original size. This gives you the increased size.

Then, you'd find 1/5 of the new size and subtract it from the increased size of the jar.

1/5 of the increased size is larger than 1/5 of the original size, so no matter what number it is, you'll always end up with a smaller-sized jar of coffee at the end.

You have the numbers 1–24 written on slips of paper.If you choose one slip at random, what is the probability that you will not

The numbers that are divisible by 3 are:

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
that is 8 numbers divisible by 3

24-8=16 numbers NOT divisible by 3

so the probability of not picking a number divisible by 3 is 16/24

hope this helps and is right :)

What is 6 divided by a number that will give you 12

AURORKA [14]

▶︎◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◀︎

$Hello$ $There!$

We need to find what number, if 6 is divided by it, gives us 12.

This isn't hard, I promise! I am going to take you through a few steps, and we'll find the answer.

Are you ready? Then let's begin...:)

$Procedure:$

✦ We can think about it as: 6 divided by what number gives us 12?

(let the number be z)

$^6/_z=12$

Multiply both sides by z

$6=12z$

Divide both sides by z

$z=^6/_{12}$

Which is the same as

$z=^1/_2$

hope it's helpful!
wishing you a great day!

How do i find the zero of (x-10)(4x-3)=0

lidiya [134]

X=10 and X=3/4 basically it’s whatever X equals to make the inside the parentheses equal zero. So if I were to plug 10 into the first parentheses you’d have 10-10 which equals zero. Also the zero has to the the opposite sign of what’s in the parentheses. So if -10 is in the parentheses then the zero has to be the opposite so positive 10.
