Answer: -21/2

Concept:

Usually, when doing mathematics operation, it goes by the PEMDAS order:

Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

However, since the question asks to solve the order of operation from left to right, then we would be doing [addition] --> [Divison]

Solve:

Given

(-5/2) + 3/4 ÷ 1/6

Operate with addition

=(-10/4) + 3/4 ÷ 1/6

=(-7/4) ÷ 1/6

Operate with division

=(-7/4) × 6/1

=-42 / 4

=-21 / 2

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

C. 38.85 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a picture of the triangle formed by Wendy, the car, and the base of the building. The side of the triangle opposite of the 75° angle is 145 feet. The side of the triangle adjacent to the angle is x. Use tangent:

tan 75 = 145 / x

x = 145 / tan 75

x = 38.85

The car is 38.85 feet from the base of the building.

Let $X$ be a random variable denoting the amount of winnings in any given round of the game. There is some probability $p$ of winning where $P(X=99,500)=p$ , while $P(X=-500)=1-p$ , assuming these are the only two possible outcomes. So we have
