-5 Subtract 8 from -12 and divide -20 by 4 and get -5
31/100 represents the yellow marbles because 3/10 = 30/100, 2/10 = 20/100, and 19/100.It all adds up to 69/100 marbles.
Nadia Is correct I believe, Because if a pizza is cut into 8 slices each slice is going to be smaller. but if it were to be cut into fourths it would be bigger. They are indeed equivalent but still never the same in size.
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.
x + y + z = 79
x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first
Therefor,
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x
x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
Add all like numbers:
7x + 16 = 79
To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.
7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63
To get x, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
To check. Substitute x by 9.
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
#831 is one out of the 535 left
1/535
= 0.002
= 0.2%
The probability is 0.2%, which is very low. It's even less than 1%. This means it's still very unlikely to get #831 and more like to get one of the other 534 numbers.
0.2% compared to 99.8%
If you look at these 2 numbers on a number line, you can see 99.8% (the other numbers) is more closer to 100%. This proves Augustin is more likely to chose one of the other numbers and doesn't have to be nervous.
