Seven and twenty five hundredths, or seven and a quarter
Answer:
- <u>The odds are 2 : 23, or about 0.09 : 1 (0.09 to 1).</u>
Explanation:
The <em>odds </em>of an event is the ratio of occurrence to non-occurrence of the event.
When you know the <em>probability</em> of an event, then you can calculate the odds by dividing the probability of occurence by the probability of non-occurrence.
Calling p the probability that an event will happen, 1 - p is the probability that it will not happen and the odds will be:
You have p = 8% = 0.08, and 1 - p = 1 -0.08 = 0.92.
Therefore:
- Odds = 0.08 / 0.92 = 8 : 92 = 2 : 23 ≈ 0.09 : 1 (0.09 to 1)
Answer:(7/8 - 4/5)^2 = 9

= 0.005625
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract: 7
8
- 4
5
= 7 · 5
8 · 5
- 4 · 8
5 · 8
= 35
40
- 32
40
= 35 - 32
40
= 3
40
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(8, 5) = 40. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 8 × 5 = 40. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.
In words - seven eighths minus four fifths = three fortieths.
Exponentiation: the result of step No. 1 ^ 2 = (3
40
) ^ 2 = 32
402
= 9
1600
In words - three fortieths squared = nine one-thousand six-hundredths.
Answer:
the dividend of the left expression, and the denominator of the right expression
Step-by-step explanation:
"2" appears in two places in the equation.
On the left, it is the number being divided, the dividend.
On the right, it is the denominator of the fraction.
