Rectangle EFGH is similar to rectangle JKLM. Which proportion can be used to
Dominik [7]

*See attached picture for the diagrams being referred to

Answer:

C. ⁵/12= ²/x

Step-by-step Explanation:

Given that rectangle EFGH is similar to rectangle JKLM, it means the corresponding sides of both rectangles are similar, and as such the ratios if the corresponding sides of rectangle EFGH and rectangle JKLM would be equal.

Thus, EF/JK = FG/KL

Since, EF = 5; JK = 12; FG = 2; and KL= x, therefore, the proportion to use in finding x would be:

⁵/12= ²/x

The simplified form of the given expression is -18. The correct option is the third option-  -18

<h3>Simplifying an expression</h3>

From the question, we are to simplify

|3-10| - (12 ÷ 4 + 2)²

Simplifying

|3-10| - (12 ÷ 4 + 2)²

|-7| - (3 + 2)²

7 - (5)²

7 - 25

= -18

Hence, the simplified form of the given expression is -18. The correct option is the third option-  -18

Consider randomly selecting a student at a large university. Let A be the event that the selected student has a Visa card, let B
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

P(A) = 0.6, P(B) = 0.4, P(C) = 0.2,

P(A ∩ B) = 0.3, P(A ∩ C) = 0.12, P(B ∩ C) = 0.1 and P(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 0.07,

Where,

A = event that the selected student has a Visa card,  

B = event that the selected student has a MasterCard,  

C = event that the selected student has an American Express card,

We know that,

P(A ∪ B ∪ C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A ∩ B) - P(A ∩ C) - P(B ∩ C) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)

= 0.6 + 0.4 + 0.2 - 0.3 - 0.12 - 0.1 + 0.07

= 0.75

Hence, the probability that the selected student has at least one of the three types of cards is 0.75.
