<span>Ivy has 4 tiles with pictures of plants and 5 tiles with pictures of animals. Ivy keeps all the tiles on a mat with the pictures hidden and mixes them up. She then turns one tile face up and finds the picture of a plant on it. She removes this tile from the mat and turns another over tile without looking. What is the probability that the second tile that Ivy turns over has a plant on it. To solve the problem the first step is to find out how many tiles are in total. Since one of the plant tiles were removed we have 3 left.

5 + 3 = 8
Now we find the percent by dividing 3 from 8. The top number is called the NUMERATOR<span> and the bottom number is called the </span>DENOMINATOR<span>.</span>
3 ÷ 8 = 0.375
0.375 x 100 = 37.5
Answer = <span>37.5%

Answer:
258
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the two equations needed (x is the adult tickets and y is the student tickets)
x+y=372
6x+2y=1776
Solve by elimination
-2(x+y=372)
=-2x-2y=-744
Cancel like figures:
-2x-2y=-744
6x+2y=1776
= 4x=1032
x=258

Answer:
84%
Step-by-step explanation:
What we must do is calculate the z value for each value and thus find what percentage each represents and the subtraction would be the percentage between those two values.
We have that z is equal to:
z = (x - m) / (sd)
x is the value to evaluate, m the mean, sd the standard deviation
So for 190000 we have:
z = (190000 - 200000) / (10000)
z = -1
and this value represents 0.1587
for 230000 we have:
z = (230000 - 200000) / (10000)
z = 3
and this value represents 0.9987
we subtract:
0.9987 - 0.1587 = 0.84
Which means that it represents 84% of the houses
You can compare them mentally! A fraction ia divided into 2 parts, however a decimal is not! Also the strategies you have to use are different. When finding the product/sum/quotient of a fraction you need to find a common denominator. But, with a decimal all you need to do is place the decimals correctly!
