Answer:
factor out 1/4 from the expression
1/4x(1-3x)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. There is a total of 16 outcomes
2. To get outcomes with a sum GREATER than 5, we have
2+4, 3+3, 3+4, 4+2, 4+3, 4+4 for a total of 6 outcomes.
3. To spin the same number twice, the possible outcomes are
1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4 for a total of 4 outcomes.
Answers: Angle A is 36 degrees, angle C is 54 degrees
=================================================================
Work Shown:
The angles A and C are complementary, meaning they add to 90 degrees.
(Angle A) + (Angle C) = 90
(2x-4) + (2x+14) = 90
(2x+2x)+(-4+14) = 90
4x+10 = 90
4x+10-10 = 90-10 .... subtract 10 from both sides
4x = 80
4x/4 = 80/4 ..... divide both sides by 4
x = 20
If x = 20, then,
angle A = 2x-4 = 2*20-4 = 40-4 = 36 degrees
angle C = 2x+14 = 2*20+14 = 40+14 = 54 degrees
Note how A+C = 36+54 = 90 which helps confirm our answers.
We can solve this two different ways. I'll do both, and you choose which one makes the most sense:
We can divide the fraction 3/4 by 12. remember, when we divide fractions, we flip the second fraction and change the sign to multiplication:
3/4 ÷12 [starting equation]
3/4 x 1/12 [flip and change sign]
3/48 [now reduce]
1/16 Each step takes 1/16 of an hour.
1/16 x 60 = 3 3/4, or 3.75 minutes
Second way:
3/4 of an hour is 3/4 of 60...45 minutes.
Still, we divide out:
45 ÷ 12 [starting equation]
3 9/12 [divide with remainder]
3 3/4 minutes...3.75 minutes
