Chase lives 1 and one half blocks west of Ellie. They draw a number line to model this situation. Because Ellie lives 1 and thre

e fifths blocks east of​ school, they give her house the coordinate 1 and three fifths . Chase incorrectly claims that the coordinate of his house is 3 and one tenth . What is the correct coordinate of Chase​'s ​house? What is Chase​'s likely​ error?

Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

A number line is a line which contains numbers marked at intervals (usually regular intervals). Points to the right of the origin are positive numbers while those to the left are negative numbers.

The school is used as the origin. Ellie house is 1 and three fifths blocks east (to the right) of the school. This means that it is + 1 and three fifths (+8/5).

Chase house is 1 and one half blocks (3/2) west of Ellie. Since it is west then it is to the left. Hence the coordinate of chase house = 8/5 - 3/2 = 1/10

Hence the coordinate of chase house is 1/10(one tenths).

The error may be as a result of thinking chase house is to the east of Ellie, hence adding to get  3 and one tenth.

Answer:

can be expressed as decimal: 0.025

s= 1.025* $250

 = $256.25

after 8 years

s= $250* 1.025^8

 ~$304.6

earned $54.6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 and a half is equivilant to 2.5

because it is a % (out of 100) move the decimal 2 places down

2.5-->0.25-->0.025

so can be expressed as decimal: 0.025

interest after 1 year is:

original amount of money * (interest rate+1.0)

+1 because you are adding on to 100%. you already have 100%.  if it was just the interest rate, the amount of money would go down.

so

s= 1.025* $250

=1.025* 250

=256.25

interest after 8 years,

that means you have to take the original, and multiply it by the interest rate, then the new original multiply by intrest rate a total of 8 times

to do this use an exponent, because exponents base the total off the total before them. if that makes any sense srry

s= $250* 1.025^8

 ~$304.6  (I used calculator)

to get her earnings, subtract the new amount of money with her original amount of money

304.6-250

=54.6

$54.6

The probability that a student chosen at random from your class is a psychology major is .18. What is the probability that a stu
devlian [24]

Answer:  0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that :

For any event A , the probability of not getting A is given by :-

P(not A)= 1- P(A)

Given : The probability that a student chosen at random from your class is a psychology major is P( psychology major) =0.18.

Then, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major will be :

P(not psychology major)= 1 - P(psychology major)

= 1-0.18=0.82

Hence, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major= 0.82

18. Mabel gave Margo a bag containing red, white, and
Sedbober [7]
So if the bag contains half as many red marbles as blue ones, and there are 8 reds then there are 16 blues. 16 + 8= 24 if you want there to be 1/4 white marbles add 6. 6/30 is 1/4.

So the answer comes out to be 30 marbles in the bag
