Answer:

1/6 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance divided = 1/2 miles

No of sections = 3

Each division must equal = 1/2/3

                             = 1/2*1/3 = 1/6 mile.

The distance between each of the signs i.e between the first and second , second and third is 1/6 of the mile.

This can be done in decimals as well

1/2 mile= 0.5 mile.

When we divide 0.5 mile by 3 we get  0.167 which is equal to 1/6 in fractions.

there are 25 students in mrs. venetozzi’s class at the beginning of the school year, and the average number of siblings for each
kompoz [17]
So, at the beginning there are a total of 25*3=75 siblings (we can assume that each of them had exactly 3 siblings, that's what average means; that we can assume this).

Now we have 25+1=26 students and the number of siblings is 75+8=83

and the average is\frac{83}{26}= 3.192, and rounded it's 3.19.

34kurt

Answer:

96 postcards

Just multiply 12 my 8. Since we have the ammount of postcards Jennifer has, the second sentence simply tells us that we need to multiply it by 8 because Frieda had 8 times the ammount as Jennifer did.

A certain firm has plants a, b, and c producing respectively 35\%, 15\%, and 50\% of the total output. The probabilities of a no
TEA [102]

The proportion of production that is defective and from plant A is

... 0.35·0.25 = 0.0875

The proportion of production that is defective and from plant B is

... 0.15·0.05 = 0.0075

The proportion of production that is defective and from plant C is

... 0.50·0.15 = 0.075

Thus, the proportion of defective product that is from plant C is

... 0.075/(0.0875 +0.0075 +0.075) = 75/170 = 15/34 ≈ 44.12%

_____

P(C | defective) = P(C&defective)/P(defective)
