Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a multiplication problem.
We want to multiply 
We factor to get:
We now cancel out the common factors to get:
We now multiply the numerators and the denominators separately to get.
This simplifies to
Therefore the simplified expression is
Answer: 0.3125.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The chance of having a boy is 0.5,
- the chance of having a girl is also 0.5.
<u>Outcome 1: all boys</u>
boy boy boy boy
0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625
<u>Outcome 2: first child is a girl, all others are boys</u>
girl boy boy boy
0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625
<u>Outcome 3: second child is a girl, all others are boys</u>
boy girl boy boy
0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625
<u>Outcome 4: third child is a girl, all others are boys</u>
boy boy girl boy
0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625
<u>Outcome 5: fourth child is a girl, all others are boys</u>
boy boy boy girl
0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625
Therefore,
0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 = 0.0625 * 5 = 0.3125
We have three similar triangles, let's see if we can get this right, right vertex first, then other vertex from small side:
EDF ~ GDE ~ GEF
As ratios that means
ED:DF:EF = GD:DE:GE = GE:EF:GF
x:20:y = 5:x:GE = GE:y:15
Since we're after y we choose
20/y = y/15
20(15) = y²
y² = 300
y = 10√3
y ≈ 17.32
(3/4) / (1/11) =
3/4 * 11/1 =
33/4 <== improper
