A spinner has 12 equal sectors with different letters for each sector, as shown below: A spinner with 12 equal sectors is shown.

The sectors are labeled B, Y, G, C, P, O, V, M, A, D, E, and R. Hamlet spins the spinner 5 times, and it stops at the letter B 4 times. If he spins the spinner a 6th time, what is the theoretical probability that this time it will stop at the letter B? 1 over 12 1 over 10 1 over 5 1 over 4

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The theoretical probability that in the 6th time the spinner will stop at the letter B is:

1 over 12.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

A spinner with 12 are labeled B, Y, G, C, P, O, V, M, A, D, E, and R.

Hamlet spins the spinner 5 times, and it stops at the letter B 4 times.

Now, we are asked to find the probability that the spinner will stop at the letter B for the 6th time.

Now, we know that each of the outcome is independent of the other.

Since, the outcome for the first 4 spins are fixed.

Hence, the probability of first four spin is: 1

Hence, the probability that the spinner will stop at letter B this time is:

1 over 12.

( Since, there are a total of 12 outcomes possible while spinning a spinner and only in one sector there is a letter B)

Tom and chuck share a reward of $234 in a ratio of 3:6. What fraction of the the total reward does Tom get?

Elza [17]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

so the ratio is 3:6

there are 9 total parts

divide 234 by 9 and you get 26

there are $26 per part

multiply 26 by 3 to get Tom's reward, which is 78

multiply 26 by 6 to get Chuck's reward, which is 156

the fraction of the total reward that Tom gets is 78/234<em> (this is Tom's $ over total)</em>

simplify and get 1/3

What is the slope of the line through (-9, 6) and (-3, 9)?<br> Choose 1 answer:

trasher [3.6K]

Given: Points (-9, 6) and (-3, 9)

Find: The slope of the line that goes through those two points

Solution: In order to find the slope of the line that goes through the points that were provided we have to use the slope formula. This formula subtracts the y-coordinates from each other and also the x-coordinates from each other to determine the rise/run which would give us the rate of change.

<u>Plug in the values</u>

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{9 - 6}{-3 - (-9)}$

<u>Simplify the expression</u>

$m = \frac{3}{-3 + 9}$

$m = \frac{3}{6}$

$m = \frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, looking at the given options we can see that the best fitting one would be option A, 1/2.

Tina is saving to buy a notebook computer. She has two options. The first option is to put $500 away initially and save $30 ever

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

10 months. Each plan will save 800 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

500 + 30x = y

300 + 50x = y

You want the months to give the same amount of money. The x has to be the same for both

500 + 30x = 300 + 50x Subtract 300 from both sides

500 - 300 + 30x = 50x Combine

200 + 30x = 50x Subtract 30x from both sides

200 = 50x - 30x Combine

200 = 20x Divide by 20

x = 10

So in 10 months time the amounts will be the same. How much will there be?

500 + 30*10 = 500 + 300 = 800

300 + 50*10 = 300 + 500 = 800

Consider the rational numbers 4/13 and 3/10.

omeli [17]

I believe 4/13 is the bigger number because 0.36>0.3
I suggest using a calculator to check but I believe 3/10 is the rational number because it terminates and doesn't repeat
