Mathematics

jeyben [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Sam: $30; Bethan: $24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio is 5:4 Sam has to pay 5/9 of the total which is 54. To find how much he pays set up the equation like this.

\frac{x}{54} =\frac{5}{9}

Cross Multiply

54(5)=9x

270=9x

Divide by 9

30=x

So Sam pays $30. To find out how much Bethan pays simply subtract 30 from 54

54-30=24

So Bethan pays $24

anastassius [24]

Answer:40

Step-by-step explanation:

On a fair die, each face has a 1/6 chance of landing on each toss.

5 and 6 are the only faces greater than 4, therefore there is a 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 chance of the die landing on a number greater than 4 for each toss.

Multiply the probability by the total number of tosses to get the number of tosses that are greater than 4.

120 * (2/6) = 240/6 = 40

Approximately 40 tosses will land on a number greater than 4.

Jason by the swings that during the sale of 20% off the sale price was $992 what was the original price and please explain
AleksandrR [38]
Well you take 20 and you make it a decimal. After that step it becomes 0.20 you multiply it by 992 (maybe do it on a calculator). Add the number that is calculated to 992 and you would have your answer :). I hope this helps!
