When subtracting fractions with the same denominator (in this case 8) you only have to worry about the numerator (7&3)

ANSWER - 7/8-3/8= 4/8

Now since you can simplify 4/8 you would divide both by 4 and your simplified answer is 1/2.

Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:

7/8 - 3/8

Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.

7 - 3 = 4

So answer is:

4/8

Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2

There are 10 values which means that the Mean=Sum/10
                                                                     =(2+2+4+5+5+6+7+7+8+10)/10
                                                                     =56/10

In training to run a half marathon, Jenny ran 2/5 hours on Tuesday, 11/6 hours on
maria [59]

Answer:

Total hours that Jenny ran = 3.63 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenny ran on Tuesday for = 2/5 hours or 0.4 hours.

Time consumed to run on Thursday = 11/6 hours or 1.83 hours.

Time consumed to run on Saturday = 21/ 15 hours or 1.4 hours.

Here, the total hours can be calculated by just adding all the running hours. So the running hours of Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday will be added to find the total hours.

Total hours that Jenny ran = 0.4 + 1.83 + 1.4 = 3.63 hours.

You flip a coin and then roll a 6-sided number cube (a die).
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

a)  No, it does not matter whether you roll the die or flip the coin first, as these two events are <u>independent</u> of each other, which means they do not affect each other.

b) Yes.

  • Let event 1 be flipping a coin and event 2 be rolling a die.
  • Let event 1 be rolling a die and event 2 be flipping a coin.

The likelihood that any outcome will occur will not change, as the events are independent.

c) see attached

d)   12 outcomes  (H = head, T = tail, numbers represent the value of the die)

H 1           T 1

H 2          T 2

H 3          T 3

H 4          T 4

H 5          T 5

H 6          T 6

e)  

\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}

\implies \sf P(even)=\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}

\implies \sf P(head)=\dfrac{1}{2}

\implies \sf P(even)\:and\:P(head)=\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{4}
