116 is the answer to 17.24 divided by 0.14
6/20 = 3/10 = 12/40
I got 3/20 by dividing 6/20 by 2/2 and 12/40 by multiplying 6/20 by 2/2. You can make fractions <span>equivalent</span> by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number
Answer: If a magazine costs $2.35 and has a 6% sales tax, then what is the total cost of the item. First, we need to convert the sales tax percentage into a decimal
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) 1.4%
2) 8.3%
3) 20.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
Alrighty! You are looking at some compound probability problems.
The trick with these is to figure out the probability of each piece of an event, and then multiply those together to get the overall probability.
Quick note about notation: p(event A) is short hand for saying "The probability of event A is....."
1) Flipping head, rolling a 5, and rolling a 2
P(flipping heads) = 1/2
p(rolling a 5) = 1/6
p(rolling a 2) = 1/6
so: (1/2) x (1/6) x (1/6) = 1/72 or about 1.4%
2) Flipping tails, rolling an odd number, and rolling a 4
p(flipping tails) = 1/2
p(rolling an odd number) = 3/6
p(rolling a 4) = 1/6
so: (1/2) x (3/6) x (1/6) = 3/72 or about 8.3%
3) Flipping head, not rolling a 2, and rolling an even number
p(flipping heads) = 1/2
p(not rolling a 2) = 5/6
p(rolling and even number) = 3/6
so: (1/2) x (5/6) x (3/6) = 15/72 or about 20.8%
