Answer:

Each person will get 1/8 of the whole cake but 1/4 of half of the cake.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cake is cut in half and then in fourths, you need to multiply 1/4 by 1/2 and get 1/8.

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

One half of the cake is four slices, and the entire cake (if it was all there) would be 8 slices. For the four slices to be distributed equally among the four people, each person gets 1 slice. 1 slice out of the 8 total in the cake would be 1/8 of the whole.

What is the slope of line p? On a coordinate plane, a straight line goes through (negative 3, negative 2), (0, 0), and (3, 2). I

dlinn [17]

To figure out the slope you would want to use this formula for 2 of the points: Y2-Y1/X2-X1.

if you followed this for (-3,-2) and (3,2), you would get 2-(-2)/3-(-3)

this would equal 4/6, which simplifies to 2/3

the slope of line p = 2/3x

Jared bought a package of pens containing 20 pens if 3/4 of the pens have black ink how do you determine the number of pens with

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The number of black ink pen are 15 pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Jared bought a package of pens containing 20 pens.

$if\ \frac{3}{4}\ of\ the\ pens\ have\ black\ ink.$

Thus

$Number\ of\ black\ ink\ pens = \frac{3}{4}\times Total\ number\ of\ pens$

Putting the value

$Number\ of\ black\ ink\ pens = \frac{3}{4}\times 20$

Number of black ink pens = 3 × 5

= 15 pens

Therefore the number of black ink pen are 15 pens.

Use the following chart of years and prices to answer the following questions.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

A) What was the absolute change from 1970 to 1990?

in 1970 we had $87.32

in 1990 we had $283.16

The absolute change is the direct difference:

$283.16 - $87.32 = $195.84

B) What was the relative change from 1970 to 1990?

Now we need to compare this with the initial value:

Relative change = 100%*(final value - initial value)/initial value.

Relative change = 100%*$195.84/$87.32 = 223.93%

C) What was the absolute change from 1995 to 2000?

in 1995 the price was $351.94

in 2000 the price was $349.69

The absolute change is:

$349.69 - $351.94 = -$2.25

The negative sign means the obvious thing, the price decreased.

D) What was the relative change from 1995 to 2000?

Relative change = 100%*(-$2.25)/($351.94) = -0.64%

A poll shows that 50% of students play sports. A random sample of 20 students showed that 70% of them play sports. A number gene

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Pr(≥ 70%) = 2/5 = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete as we can't get an exact answer without the dot plot diagram.

We can tell from the question, we are to determine the probability of having ≥ 70% students that play sports

The dot plot diagram used in solving the question has been attached.

Total number of samples = 20

From the dot plot, 50% of students play sport. That is, 50% have more people playing sport than others.

The chance of getting a sample proportion of 70% or greater= probability of students that like sports ≥ 70%

= (sum of people that like sports ≥ 70%)/(total number of sample)

Pr(≥ 70%) = (4+3+1)/20

Where Pr = probability

Pr(≥ 70%) = 8/20

Pr(≥ 70%) = 2/5 = 0.4
