Answer:

She has approximately 3 pieces ( 2.625)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the number of pieces, we need to divide the length of the wire by the individual length of the pieces.

To get the division done, it would be easier to convert what we have into improper fractions

For the piece of wire, the length which is 4 and 3/8 centimeters long will be 35/8 centimeters

while;

the individual length of each of the piece which is 1 and 2/3 centimeters long will be 5/3 centimeters

The number of pieces is thus 35/8 divided by 5/3 = 35/8 * 3/5 = 21/8 = 2.625 which is approximately 3 pieces

Hope this helped

You roll a die four times. What is the probability that it will show an even number the first three times, then a one the last t
mezya [45]

A die has six sides so you have a *blank*/6 chance of getting a certain number.

Since there are 3 even numbers on a die and 3 odd numbers. So the probability of rolling a even number would be:

3/6 or 1/2 or 50%

There is a one, one on a die so your chance of rolling a one the last time would be:

1/6 or about 16%

Hope this helps :) If you have any more questions just ask!

Please help me, answer in this format
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

6 − 4  x = 6 x − 8 x − 2  Since  x

is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

6 x − 8 x − 2 = 6− 4 x  Subtract  8 x  from  6 x . − 2 x − 2 = 6 − 4 x

Move all terms containing  x

to the left side of the equation.

Tap for fewer steps...

Add  4 x

to both sides of the equation.

− 2 x − 2  +  4  x =  6  Add  − 2 x  and  4 x . 2 x − 2 = 6

Move all terms not containing  

x  to the right side of the equation.

Tap for fewer steps...

Add  2

to both sides of the equation.

2 x = 6 +  2  Add  6  and  2 . 2 x = 8

Divide each term by  

2  and simplify.

Tap for fewer steps...

Divide each term in  

2 x = 8  by  2 .  2 x 2 =  8  2  Cancel the common factor of  

2  .  Tap for more steps...

x = 8  2  Divide  8  by  2 .

x = 4
