Answer:

The answer is "Option b".

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, 1000 ticket were sold for \$1 and the owner who receives tickets which are  randomly chosen that wins \$50.

Net\  profit = 1000\times 1-1\timesv 50 = \$950\\\\Net \ profit \ for\  ticket = \frac{\$950}{1000} = \$0.95

The probability in which each ticket owners win = 0.001

therefore the ticket owner net profit = = -1+0.001\times 50 = -0.95\\\\

Consider the line y=-4/7x+4.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

1). y = -4/7x         2). y = 7/4x - 65/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1). When a line is parallel, the slope remains the same.

y = -4/7x + b

-4 = -4/7(7) + b

-4 = -4 + b

0 = b

The equation is simply y = -4/7x.

2). When a line is perpendicular, the slope becomes the exact opposite.

y = 7/4x + b

-4 = 7/4(7) + b

-4 = 49/4 + b

-65/4 = b

The equation is y = 7/4x - 65/4.

11/3 divided by what equals 11 it has to be a fraction
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve using algebra: let x be the unknown number.

so 11/3 ÷ x = 11.

Solving:

11/3 = 11x.

x = 11/3 ÷11  = 1/3

You can also check the answer by going:

11/3 ÷ 1/3 = 11/3 x 3/1  = 33/3 = 11 (using fraction rules for multiplying and dividing ie. to divide by a fraction we multiple by it's reciprocal, and to multiply by a fraction, we multiple the numerators and the denominators).

(-2 + 1)² + 5(12 3) - 9.<br> The value of the expression is ?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The total value of the given expression is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2 + 1)² + 5(12 ÷ 3) - 9

First, do the expressions within the parentheses.

(-1)² + 5(4) - 9

Next, simplify the exponents.

1 + 5(4) - 9

Next, multiply 5 by 4.

1 + 20 - 9

Add 1 and 20 together.

21 - 9

Subtract 9 from 21.

12

So, the final answer to this equation is 12.
