Answer: It's more likely it's a Tuesday

========================================================

Explanation:

The odds of it being a Tuesday is 1/7 since there's 1 day of the week that's Tuesday out of 7 total.

The odds of it being January is 1/12 because we have 1 month we want out of 12 total.

Now the question is: which fraction is larger?

For now, assume they are equal. We'll cross multiply like so

1/7 = 1/12

1*12 = 7*1

12 = 7

We get a false statement at the end, but we can fix things by replacing the equal sign with a greater than sign to get this new set of steps

1/7 > 1/12

1*12 > 7*1

12 > 7

which leads us to a true statement. Therefore, 1/7 is the larger fraction and the more likely event.

-----------------

Alternatively, you can use your calculator to find that:

  • 1/7 = 0.143 approximately
  • 1/12 = 0.083 approximately

Then for each decimal, move the decimal point 3 spots to the right. The values 0.143 and 0.083 become 143 and 83 respectively. We can see that 143 is larger, which means 0.143 is larger, and lastly 1/7 is larger. Think of it like a chain.

If you have 3/12 of an orange, how many fourths do you have?​
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Answer: one fourth

Fourth is a word that used to describe a number value of 1/4. To answer this question, you need to change the number you got (3/12) into x/4 form. To convert 12 into 4, then you need to divide the numerator and denominator with 3. The equation would be (3/3)/(12/3)= 1/4. 

To determine how much fourth the number has, you need to divide the result with 1/4. The calculation would be: (1/4)/ (1/4)= one fourth

hope its help

thank you

Algebra 2A Help !<br><br> Tadakimasu ~

Function is p(x)=(x-4)^5(x^2-16)(x^2-5x+4)(x^3-64)

first factor into (x-r1)(x-r2)... form

p(x)=(x-4)^5(x-4)(x+4)(x-4)(x-1)(x-4)(x^2+4x+16)
group the like ones
p(x)=(x-4)^8(x+4)^1(x-1)^1(x^2+4x+16)

multiplicity is how many times the root repeats in the function
for a root r₁, the root r₁ multiplicity 1 would be (x-r₁)^1, multility 2 would be (x-r₁)^2 

so

p(x)=(x-4)^8(x+4)^1(x-1)^1(x^2+4x+16)
(x-4)^8 is the root 4, it has multiplicity 8
(x-(-4))^1 is the root -4 and has multiplicity 1
(x-1)^1 is the  root 1 and has multiplity 1
(x^2+4x+16) is not on the real plane, but the roots are -2+2i√3 and -2-2i√3, each multiplicity 1 (but don't count them because they aren't real

baseically

(x-4)^8 is the root 4, it has multiplicity 8
(x-(-4))^1 is the root -4 and has multiplicity 1
(x-1)^1 is the  root 1 and has multiplity 1

F the point T is between the points B and N, then which of the following is true?
valentina_108 [34]
Assuming T, B and N are all on the same line, then we can say

BT + TN = BN

which is the segment addition postulate. 

Subtract TN from both sides to get
BT + TN = BN
BT + TN - TN = BN - TN
BT = BN - TN
BN - TN = BT

Which is what choice C is saying. Therefore the answer is choice C.
