4 0

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Each time you flip a coin, there is a 50% probability of it landing on tails. Each time you flip the coin, the 50% gets multiplied by $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$\frac{1}{2}$ to the power of <em>4 </em>is 0.0625. 0.0625 in percentage form is of course 6.25%

Answer:

y=x-8 and y=-x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of the lines can be anything, as long as they are the opposite reciprocals of each other. Then you can plug in the point for x and y to solve for b in both lines (for y=mx+b where m is the slope)

There is a machine with 8 toys in it that each cost between 25 cents and 2 dollars, with each toy being 25 cents more expensive

aksik [14]

It is actually quite simple: they are asking for the probability:

there are different types of items and each types there is always at least a 25 cent difference in between (if you go up the or down the scale there will be a 25 cent difference to each type of item. They say that Sam wants to get one of the 8 items. The price at this point doesn't matter. If he wants 1 of the 8 types all you have to do is convert it into a fraction: 1/8. That is the answer

explain the pattern used to place the decimal in the answer when you multiply or divide a decimal by a power of 10

taurus [48]

All you are really doing is if you divide you are moving the decimal to the left and when you times you are moving the decimal to the right
