Answer:

7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

If the chances of an outcome are 2/9, the odds against it can be found by subtracting that from 1.

1 - 2/9

= 7/9

So, the odds against that outcome are 7/9

The largest possible value of b is 10, since for some x = x₀ it could be the case that f(x₀) = -5 and g(x₀) = -2; then f(x₀) g(x₀) = -5 × -2 = 10.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

About $241.11

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Karen receives 18.2 cents per paper.

She delivers 124 paper per day.

In other words, on days other than Sunday, she will make a total of:

$18.2(124)=2256.8\text{ cents}$

On Sunday, each paper is sold for $0.70 or 70 cents. She also sells 151 Sunday papers. Thus, on a Sunday, she will make a total of:

$70(151)=10570\text{ cents}$

Therefore, in one week, she will do the first equation six times and the Sunday equation once. Thus, her total pay will be:

$6(2256.8)+10570=24110.8\text{ cents}\approx\$241.11$
