Answer:

<u>Cities A and B are 1,125 miles apart</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Distance between A and B in the map = 5 inches

Distance between C and D in the map = 4 inches

Actual distance between C and D = 900 miles

2. How many miles apart are cities A and B?

We will solve the question, using Direct Rule of Three, as follows:

Distance in the map      Actual distance

A - B      5 inches                    x

C - D      4 inches                900 miles

***************************************************

4x = 900 * 5

4x = 4,500

x = 4,500/4

x = 1,125 miles

<u>Cities A and B are 1,125 miles apart</u>

Sarah rolls a die twice. What is the probability that she rolls a 3 and then an even number?
vekshin1

Answer:

A) 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of rolling a die is { 1,2,3,4,5,6}

P (getting 3)= The number of "3"'s  in the sample space over the number of items in the sample space

P (getting a 3} = 1/6

P (getting  even)= The number of evens  in the sample space over the number of items in the sample space

P (getting an even} = 3/6= 1/2

Since these are independent events, we multiply the probabilities

P(3, even) = 1/6 * 1/2 = 1/12

Find the area of this trapezoid. Area = _______ square units. Round to the nearest whole number.
fredd [130]

Answer:

119 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a trapezoid, use this formula: (a+b)/2 * h

Substitute 24, 10, and 7 for a, b, and h, respectively.

((24 + 10)/2) * 7

<em>Step 1: Add 24 and 10 to get 34.</em>

(34/2) * 7

<em>Step 2: Divide 34 by 2 to get 17.</em>

17 * 7

<em>Step 3: Multiply 17 by 7 to get 119</em>

119

The area of this trapezoid is 119 square units.
