Answer:

1/114 or 0.008772

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not very sure, my answer seems unlikely, but here's what I think:

There are 20 jerseys in the box to begin with, and 5 medium jerseys that you can have.

Therefore, the probability of you randomly grabbing a medium sized jersey is 5/20 or 1/4.

After taking out one medium sized jersey, there are 19 jerseys in the box and 4 medium jerseys you can pick from.

The probability of you randomly grabbing a medium sized jersey is 4/19.

After taking out another medium sized jersey, there are 18 jerseys left in the box and 3 medium jerseys you can pick from.

The probability of you randomly grabbing a medium sized jersey is 3/18.

To get the answer, you do 1/4 * 4/19 * 3/18, and get 1/114, or 0.00877192982.

If you round that to the nearest millionth, it's 0.008772

Don't judge me, it might not be correct.

Nine less than a number is no more than 8 and is no less than 3
frozen [14]

9 - x < 8 => -x < 8 - 9 => -x < -1 => x > 1

9 - x > 3 => -x > 3 -9 => -x > -6 => x < 6

So the number is between 1 and 6, notation 1 < x < 6

zmey [24]
The answer is 15%

Explanation:

Team A has 42 members and team b has 18 more than team A so team b has 60 members. In order for the teams to be equal, there’d need to be 51 people on each team(60+42/2=51). There are 9 extra people on team b, so we need 9/60 , divide and you get 15%.

Find the exact circumference of a circle with the given radius. 5 inches C = 2.5π in. 10π in. 25π in.
docker41 [41]
The circumference, C, of a given circle may be calculated through the equation,
         
                                   C = 2πr

where r is the radius. 

Substituting the known values from the given in this item,
                                    C = 2(π)(5 in)
                                    <em>C = 10π in</em>

Thus, the answer is this item is the second choice.

What is the value of x in the equation 3/2 (4X - 1) - 3x = 5/4 - (x +2)
Leokris [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

3/2(4x-1)-3x = 5/4-(x+2)

6x -3/2 -3x = 5/4 -x -2

3x -3/2 = 5/4-2-x

4x=5/4 -2 +3/2

4x= (5-8+6)/4

4x=3/4

x=3/16
