Answer:

Answer as a fraction: 4/15

Answer as a decimal: 0.267

The decimal version is approximate rounded to three decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 apples, 4 peaches

6+4 = 10 pieces of fruit total

The probability of picking an apple is 6/10 = 3/5

After you pick and eat the apple, there are 10-1 = 9 pieces of fruit left. Also, the probability of picking a peach is 4/9, as there are 4 peaches out of 9 fruit left over.

Multiply out 3/5 and 4/9 to get (3/5)*(4/9) = (3*4)/(5*9) = 12/45 = 4/15

Using a calculator, 4/15 = 0.267 approximately.

Y varies directly with x. If y=25 when x=5, find y when x =-4<br><br>y =​
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

y = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly with x it means changing x will also cause change in y

Mathematically it can be written as:

y∝x

Removing the proportionality symbol

y = kx

Given y=25 when x=5 Putting the values

25 = k(5)\\k = \frac{25}{5}\\k = 5

Now

y = 5x

We have to find the value of y when x = -4

Putting x=-4

y = 5(-4)\\y = -20

Hence,,

y = -20

Help me with 3, and 5 show your work !
ss7ja [257]
Okay so for number 3, you have to do the top work first.

3: POSITIVE 2!! first, you do the stuff inside the parentheses first because of P(parentheses)EMDAS. so, 14-2-10! -2-10 is -12 and then plus positive 14 is +2. but, the negative sign outside of the parentheses makes that +2 a -2.
but, you cant forget the -12 outside. you have to do -12-2 which gets you -14. then, this is easy! -14 divided by -7 is a positive 2!

5: POSITIVE 3!! again, do the stuff in the parentheses first!! -2-4 is -6. then, -6 x 2 is -12! so, divide -12 by -4 and you get a positive 3!
