Answer: 
This is the same as writing (n-m)/n
Don't forget about the parenthesis if you go with the second option.
==================================================
Explanation:
The probability that she wins is m/n, where m,n are placeholders for positive whole numbers.
For instance, m = 2 and n = 5 leads to m/n = 2/5. This would mean that out of n = 5 chances, she wins m = 2 times.
The probability of her not winning is 1 - (m/n). We subtract the probability of winning from 1 to get the probability of losing.
We could leave the answer like this, but your teacher says that the answer must be "in the form of a combined single fraction".
Doing a bit of algebra would have these steps
and now the expression is one single fraction.
Divide the number that islf can divide by like 2 or 3 or 4 for exaples
Answer:
2 ( m + 2 m) = 36 is the required linear equation
Length of the rectangle is 12 ft and width = 6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle = m ft.
So, the length of the rectangle = 2m ft.
Perimeter of rectangle = 36 ft
Now, PERIMETER OF THE RECTANGLE = 2(LENGTH + WIDTH)
⇒2 ( m + 2m) = 36
or, 2 x 3m = 36
⇒ 6m = 36 , or m = 36/6
⇒ m =6 ft
So, the Width of the rectangle; = m = 6 ft
and the Length of the rectangle = 2 m = 2 x 6 = 12 ft.
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
x = cost of adult ticket
y = cost of student ticket
cost of adult ticket is twice the cost of a student ticket
x = 2y
number of adult tickets = 64
number of student tickets = 132
cost of all adult tickets = 64x
cost of all student tickets = 132y
cost of all adult and student tickets combined: 64x + 132y
cost of all adult and student tickets combined: 1040
This gives us the equation:
64x + 132y = 1040
b.
Use substitution to solve the system of equations. Since x = 2y, where you see x in the second equation, substitute it with 2y.
64(2y) + 132y = 1040
128y + 132y = 1040
260y = 1040
y = 1040/260
y = 4
x = 2y = 2(4) = 8
adult ticket: $8
student ticket: $4
