Answer:

\frac{10}{56} = 0.1786 probability that Shaun loses both games

Step-by-step explanation:

Games are independent, so we find each separate probability, and multiply them.

In a chess club the probability that Shaun will beat Mike is 3/8.

So 1 - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8} probability that Shaun loses.

The probability that Shaun will beat Tim is 5/7 .

So 1 - \frac{5}{7} = \frac{2}{7} probability that Shaun loses.

What is the probability that Shaun loses both games?

This is:

p = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{2}{7} = \frac{5*2}{8*7} = \frac{10}{56} = 0.1786

\frac{10}{56} = 0.1786 probability that Shaun loses both games

Answer:

There are four possible rectangles with 10 tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:
The question for this problem is: How many different rectangles could she make with the 10 tiles?

All the dimensions possible are all products that give 10 as a result. So, all possible rectangles would be:
2 width x 5 length = 10
5 width x 2 length = 10
1 width x 10 length = 10
10 width x 1 length = 10
