7 0

Answer:

7/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Odds against = number of failures / number of successes

So number of failures = 9 and the number of successes = 7.

Probability = number of successes / number of total events

P = 7 / (7 + 9)

P = 7/16

What is the value of the expression below.4/5+3/5+3.5×5

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

18.9

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 + 3/5 + 3.5 * 5

Well using PEMDAS you would need to do 3.5 x 5 which is 17.5

After that you would to 4/5 + 3/5 which is 7/5 also as 1 2/5

Then you would do 7/5 + 17.5 = 18.9

I might be wrong but that is what I got and I hope it helps you :)

2( 10 - a^2 ) + 7a If ( a = 4 )Evaluate each expression

Lostsunrise [7]

Solution:

Given:

$2(10-a^2)+7a$

when a = 4, substitute for a in the expression;

$\begin{gathered} 2(10-a^2)+7a=2(10-4^2)+7(4) \\ =2(10-16)+28 \\ =2(-6)+28 \\ =-12+28 \\ =16 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, if (a = 4), then

$2(10-a^2)+7a=16$

Hence, the answer is 16.
