<h3>Answer:</h3>

2/15

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

There are 8C2 = 28 ways to choose 2 dimes from the 8 dimes in Annie's purse. There are 21C2 = 210 ways to choose 2 coins from the 21 coins in Annie's purse.

Of the 210 ways to choose 2 coins, 28 of the choices will result in 2 dimes being chosen. The probability of choosing 2 dimes is 28/210 = 2/15.

_____

<em>Comment on nCk</em>

The number of ways to choose k objects from n, when order does not matter, is ...

... n!/(k!(n -k)!)

For the computations above, we have ...

... 8C2 = 8·7/(2·1) = 28

... 21C2 = 21·20/(2·1) = 210

A construction crew must build 4 miles of road in one week. On Monday, they build 12 mile of road. On Tuesday, they build 13 mil
Julli [10]

\frac{19}{6} many more miles of road are left to build .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , A construction crew must build 4 miles of road in one week. On Monday, they build 1/2 mile of road. On Tuesday, they build 1/3 mile of road.  We need to find that  How many more miles of road are left to build . Let's find out:

  • On Monday, they build 1/2 mile of road.
  • On Tuesday, they build 1/3 mile of road.  

Let Miles of road left to build is x So,

⇒ \frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3} +x = 4

⇒ x = 4 - (\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3})

⇒ x = 4 - (\frac{1(3)+1(2)}{6} )

⇒ x = 4 - (\frac{5}{6} )

⇒ x =  (\frac{4(6)-5}{6} )

⇒ x =  \frac{24-5}{6}

⇒ x =  \frac{19}{6}

Therefore, \frac{19}{6} many more miles of road are left to build .

Find two positive consecutive integers whose product is 132.
iren2701 [21]
If x is the first integer, then x+1 is the second. x(x+1)=132 or x^2+x-132=0. This factors as (x-11)(x+12)=0. Thus either x=11 or x=-12 
<span>So either 11 and 12 or -12 and -11 will do.</span>
