Answer:
That is the commutative property.
This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by
2
3
2
3
gives the next term. In other words,

<h3>
Answer: 7/10</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
There are 30 days in April. Since it rained 9 of those days, the empirical probability of it raining in April is 9/30 = (3*3)/(3*10) = 3/10.
If we assume that the same conditions (ie weather patterns) hold for May, then the empirical probability of it raining in May is also 3/10. By "raining in May", I mean specifically raining on a certain day of that month.
The empirical probability of it not raining on the first of May is therefore...
1 - (probability it rains)
1 - (3/10)
(10/10) - (3/10)
(10-3)/10
7/10
We can think of it like if we had a 10 day period, and 3 of those days it rains while the remaining 7 it does not rain.
Answer:
-2.7 < y
Step-by-step explanation:
2.9 < 5.6+y
Subtract 5.6 from each side
2.9-5.6 < 5.6-5.6+y
-2.7 < y
So area is length times width therefore
A=LW
44ft^2=5.5W
divide both sides by 5.5
44/5.5=Width=8 feet
