Let's say you had a cake that is cut into 5 equal slices. Then someone eats 2 of those slices. They ate 2/5 of the cake.
Now let's say you have another cake that you cut into 10 equal slices. If someone eats 4 of those ten, then they have eaten 4/10 = 2/5 of the cake.
Check out the diagram below to see a visual of how 4/10 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions.
Going from 2/5 to 4/10 has us multiply top and bottom by 2.
-----------
Similarly, 1/2 = 5/10 after multiplying top and bottom by 10
The original expression 2/5 + 1/2 turns into 4/10 + 5/10
Then you add the numerators to get 4+5 = 9, placing that over the common denominator of 10
<h3>Answer: 9/10</h3>
Train A: Speed of 60 mph. (1 mile per minute)
Train B: Speed of 90 mph. (1.5 miles per minute)
after 2 hours: (2:00)
Train A has gone 120 miles. (half-way mark)
Train B has gone 0 miles.
Hour 2:48: (2:48)
Train A has gone 168 miles.
Train B has gone 72 miles.
72 ----><---------------168
At 2:48 P.M the two will meet. 72+168=240
I hope this helps! :)
Answer:
it definitely has eight sides so I'm not completely sure but try Nonagon (9 sides) and heptagon (7 sides) Just in case if not I think maths watch is bugged as it does that sometimes <3
Answer:
The probability that the wait time is greater than 14 minutes is 0.4786.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the waiting time to be seated at a restaurant during the evening.
The average waiting time is, <em>β</em> = 19 minutes.
The random variable <em>X</em> follows an Exponential distribution with parameter 
.
The probability distribution function of <em>X</em> is:
Compute the value of the event (<em>X</em> > 14) as follows:
Thus, the probability that the wait time is greater than 14 minutes is 0.4786.
