Answer:

Devante is 23 and Savannah is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations.

s - savannah's age

d - devante's age

s = d + 9

s + d = 53

Now we can substitute (d + 9) for s in the second equation.

(d + 9) + d = 53

2d + 9 = 53

2d = 46

d = 23

To find Savannah's age, we just add 9 to Devante's age. (plugging in 23 for d)

23 + 9 = 32

s = 32

How do we calculate 25% of 300

Natali5045456 [20]

25% is equal to $\frac{1}{4}$ . To get 25% of 300, we multiply 300 by either 0.25 or $\frac{1}{4}$ . This gives us $(300)( \frac{1}{4}) = \frac{300}{4} = \frac{150}{2} = 75$

When two dice are rolled, what is the probability the two numbers will have a sum of 10

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, two dies are rolled.

The outcomes of tossing two dies are,

(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (15), (1,6)

----- -------- ------ ------ ----- ----

(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)

Number of possible outcomes = 36

To find the probability

The possible outcomes are getting sum 10 which are,

(4,6), (5, 5) and (6,4)

Number of possible outcomes = 3

Therefore probability of getting sum 10 = 3/36 = 1/12

The correct answer is option C. 1/12
