The consecutive even numbers are
EXPLANATION
Let
be the first even number then, the next even number will be,
The difference of one-half the larger one and two-fifth the smaller one is 38 gives the equation,
We multiply through with an LCM of 10 to get,
This simplifies to,
We expand the brackets to get,
We group like terms to get,
This simplifies to
Therefore the next even number is is
I'm not amazing at fractions but it equals:
1/3 x4= 4/3
so 1 1/3 as mixed fraction
1.33333 repeated..
In order to determine the probability that the coin chosen is a dime, determine first the total number of sample coins. In this problem, there are 52 coins all in all. Next, divide the number of dimes in the sample with the total number of coins. This gives us 10/52. Simplifying the fraction further yields to 5/26. Thus, the probability that the coin chosen is dime is 5/26. The answer is letter c.
