6 0

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion: $\frac{6}{60} = \frac{x}{100}$
Cross multiply, then divide: 6 × 100 = 600, 600 ÷ 60 = 10
10/100 = 10%

I hope this helps!

A jar contains 6 yellow marbles, 4 black marbles, and 2 purple marbles. Two marbles are picked at random, without replacement. W

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The probability of selecting both yellow is 5/22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the number of yellow marbles = 6

Black marbles = 4

Purple marble = 2

Now find the total number of marbles in the jar.

Thus total marbles = Yellow marbles + Black marbles + Purples marble

Now insert the values in the above formula.

Total marbles = 6 + 4 + 2

Total marbles = 12

The probability of 2 yellow marble:

$= \frac{6}{12} \times \frac{5}{11} \\= \frac{5}{22}$

Thus, the probability of selecting both yellow is 5/22.

Ajax is 5 and 1 fourth feet tall. His sister is 3 eighths foot shorter than Ajax How tall is Ajax Sister?

user100 [1]

Answer:

$4\frac{3}{4}$ feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Ajax is "5 and 1 fourth feet tall", which can be written as the mixed number $5\frac{1}{4}$ .

His sister is "3 eighths foot shorter", so she's 3/8 feet shorter than 5 1/4.

So, this is just a subtraction problem:

$5\frac{1}{4} -\frac{3}{8}$

To solve this, we want to convert 5 1/4 into an improper fraction, which is: $\frac{21}{4}$ . Now, we want to find a common denominator. In this case, that common denominator is 8, so $\frac{21}{4} =\frac{42}{8}$ .

Finally, we subtract 3/8 from 42/8: $\frac{42}{8} -\frac{3}{8} =\frac{39}{8}$ . So, Ajax's sister is 39/8 feet. Converting this into a mixed number, we have: 39/8 = 4 $\frac{6}{8} =4\frac{3}{4}$ .
