Answer:

20/24. Simplified answer is 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 divided by 3/4 is the same as asking 5/8 times 4/3

When dividing a number by a fraction, you can always just multiply by the fraction with its numerator and denominator switched!

So, now we have 5/8 times 4/3

Step 1: Multiply the numerators together. 5 times 4 = 20

Step 2: Multiply the denominators together. 8 times 3 = 24

Step 3: Put the new numerator over the new denominator. 20 over 24 is 20/24

Step 4: Simplify the fraction if necessary. 20 and 24 share a common factor of 4, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 4.

20 divided by 4 = 5

24 divided by 4 = 6

So, 20/24 is equal to 5/6.

The general manager, marketing director, and 3 other employees of Company A are hosting a visit by the vice president and 2 othe

yawa3891 [41]

Solution :

Let the three places be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

a). Number of the cases when a general manager is the next to a vice president is equal to 7 and the these 2 can be arranged in 21 ways. So the total number of ways = 7 x 2

= 14

[(1,2)(2,1) (2,3)(3,2) (3,4)(4,3) (4,5)(5,4) (5,6)(6,5) (6,7)(7,8) (8,7)(7,6)]

Therefore the required probability is

$=\frac{14}{8!}$

= $\frac{14}{40320} = 0.000347$

b). The probability that the marketing director to be placed in the leftmost position is

$=\frac{7!}{8!}$

$=\frac{1}{8} = 0.125$

c). The two events are not independent because

$P(A \cap B) \neq P(A) \times P(B)$

$\frac{12}{8!} \neq \frac{14}{8!} \times \frac{1}{8}$

where A is the case a and B is the case b.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One is the smallest multiple of 50. We can find this by finding all the multiples of 50. The multiples of 50 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50.

We can see that one is the smallest multiple because it is less than 2, 5, 10, 25 and 50. So, that means the answer to the question is 1.

Hope this helps.
