Answer:

7 / 69

Step-by-step explanation:

Rabbit = 8

Mice = 12

Snake = 4

Total = (8 + 12 + 4) = 24

If each animal has equal probability of being caught ;

Probability of catching a rabbit ;

Number of rabbits / total number of animals

P(catching 1 rabbit) = 8 / 24 = 1/3

P(catching 2nd rabbit) :

Number of rabbits left = 8 - 1 = 7

Total number of rabbits = 24 - 1 = 23

Hence, P(catching 2nd rabbit) = 7 /23

Probability of catching two rabbits :

1 /3 * 7/ 23 = 7 / 69

Look at the graph below. Which of the following best represents the slope of the line? A. -3 B. - 1 3 C. 1 3 D. 3
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer and Explanation:

The line seems to pass trough the points (0,6) and (-3,4).

Slope is: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{4-6}{-3-0} =\frac{-2}{-3} =\boxed{\frac{2}{3}}

The slope of the line should be \frac{2}{3}.

Mirror the speed of 16.8 m/s Olympian ran the 100 m dash in 9.6 seconds how much faster was Sarah the cheetah speed to the neare
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

6.4 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah the cheetah ran 100 meters at a speed of 16.8 meters per second. An olympian ran the 100-meter dash in 9.6 seconds. How much faster was Sarah the cheetah’s speed, to the nearest tenth of a meter per second?

0.9 meters per second

1.6 meters per second

6.4 meters per second

10.4 meters per second

Speed = distance / time

Olympian's speed = 100 / 9.6 = 10.4 meters per second

Sarah's speed = 16.8 meters per second.

Difference in speed = 16.8 - 10.4 = 6.4

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
