There are 9 long distance male runners and 5 long distance female runners. This makes a total of 9+5 = 14 long distance runners.
Out of this total of 14 long distance runners, there are 9 males. So the probability as a fraction is 9/14
If you need the answer in decimal form, then use a calculator to get 9/14 = 0.642857 which is approximate.
A. 3/2
b.0.5
c.you have to add them

Answer:
y = -x +5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the given equation for y, we have ...
y = x +4
The slope of this line is the coefficient of x: 1. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/1 = -1. The y-intercept of the perpendicular line can be found from ...
b = y -mx = 8 -(-1)(-3) = 5
The perpendicular line has equation ...
y = -x +5
Answer:
x = 6, y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the properties of a parallelogram is
The diagonals bisect each other, hence
2x = y + 3 → (1)
2y = 3x → (2)
Rearrange (1) in terms of y by subtracting 3 from both sides
y = 2x - 3 → (3)
Substitute y = 2x - 3 into (2)
2(2x - 3) = 3x ← distribute left side
4x - 6 = 3x ( add 6 to both sides )
4x = 3x + 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
x = 6
Substitute x = 6 into (3) for value of y
y = (2 × 6) - 3 = 12 - 3 = 9
Hence x = 6 and y = 9
