Answer:

The probability is 0.383.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 democrats and 6 republicans  

Number of ways in which 4 democrats and 2 republicans can be selected=\[{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}\]

Number of ways in which 5 democrats and 1 republican can be selected= \[{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}\]

Number of ways in which 6 democrats can be selected = \[{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}\]

So, favourable outcomes are \[{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}\]

Total possible outcomes =\[{}^{13}{{C}_{6}}\]

Now, probability=\[\frac{Favourable}{Possible}=\frac{{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}}{{}^{13}{{C}_{6}}}=0.383\]

Answer:  $122.50

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

In          Out

8:00    12:00    = 4 hours

12:45    17:30   =<u> 4.75 hours   </u>

          Total        8.75 hours

8.75 hours x $14/hr = $122.50

Note: to subtract 12:45 from 17:30, borrow 1 hour from 17 and add 60 minutes to 30:

 17:30       →         16:90

- 12:45                -<u> 12:45 </u>

                            4: 45

4 hours 45 minutes = 4\frac{3}{4} = 4.75 hours

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Her model is 37 times as tall as Ben's.

Step-by-step explanation:

70 11/12 ÷ 5 3/4

851/12 ÷ 23/4

851/12 x 4/23

37/1 x 1/1 = 37 times as tall

A sequence is defined by
garik1379 [7]
I believe the answer is D.

3^2 is 9 and 4^2 is 16, and because 9/16 was the third term in the sequence, you raise both the numerator and the denominator by the number of the term minus 1.

So to find the seventh term, you raise the numerator and denominator by 7 - 1 = 6.

So the answer is 729/4096
