Answer:

no, they are equal. we know this because when reducing both they are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the least common denominator

that's 3

reduce fractions until the denominator is both 3

we get 2/3 and 2/3. the proportions are equal.

8/12 is .6667, and 10/15 is also .6667. They are the same decimals, which means they are the same value. To answer your question, No, 8/12 is not greater than 10/15, they are exactly the same

Evaluate the following expression 5(1 3)-3(2 -1)

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem tests your understanding of order of operations rules.

Here you must do any work inside parentheses first, followed by multiplication, followed by subtraction:

5(13) - 3(2 -1) would be 65 -3(1), or 62.

If you actually meant 5(1 - 3) - 3(2 - 1), then you'd have

5(-2) - 3(1) = -10 - 3 = -13

Please compare the problem you've shared with the original problem, to ensure that these match.

A company is producing two types of ski goggles. Thirty percent of the production is of type A, and the rest is of type B. Five

exis [7]

Answer:

$\dfrac{14}{29}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(A) be the probability that goggle of type A is manufactured

P(B) be the probability that goggle of type B is manufactured

P(E) be the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

According to the question,

P(A) = 30%

P(B) = 70%

P(E/A) is the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase given that it was of type A.

P(E/B) is the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase given that it was of type B.

$P(A \cap E)$ will be the probability that a goggle is of type A and is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

$P(B \cap E)$ will be the probability that a goggle is of type B and is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

$P(E \cap A) = P(A) \times P(E/A)$

$P(E \cap A) = \dfrac{30}{100} \times \dfrac{5}{100}\\\Rightarrow P(E \cap A) = 1.5 \%$

$P(E \cap B) = P(B) \times P(E/B)$

$P(E \cap B) = \dfrac{70}{100} \times \dfrac{2}{100}\\\Rightarrow P(E \cap B) = 1.4 \%$

$P(E) = 1.5 \% + 1.4 \% \\P(E) = 2.9\%$

If a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase, probability that it was of type B:

$P(B/E) = \dfrac{P(E \cap B)}{P(E)}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1.4 \%}{2.9\%}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{14}{29}$

So, the required probability is $\dfrac{14}{29}.$

Since he's made of metal, Moby weighs a lot. In fact, Tim's weight is only 4 percent of Moby's weight. If Tim weighs 50 kg, how

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Moby weighs 1250Kgs

Step-by-step explanation:

Tim is 4% of Moby so

T =4%m

if T is for Tim and Tim weighs 50kgs then

50=4%m

100/4=25

25*50=1250

M = 1250Kgs

One of the great mysteries of the world is my hotdogs and hotdog buns come in packages of different sizes hotdogs come in packs

V125BC [204]

Answer:

3 pack of hot dogs and 2 pack of buns 24

Step-by-step explanation:

hot dogs come in packs of 8

burns came in packs of 12

what is the least number of each you can buy in order to have a equal number of hot dogs and buns

so to get equal number

we have to look for the LCM of 8 and 12 = 24

therefore the packs will be equal to product

hot dogs come in packs of 8 = 8*3 = 24

burns came in packs of 12 = 12 *2 = 24

therefore, 3 pack of hot dogs and 2 pack of buns 24
