Answer:

3:4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To work this out we need to find the highest multiple of 45 and 60.

15 is the largest number that goes into both of them so what we are going to do now is divide both number by 15.

45 divided by 15 = 3

60 divided by 15 = 4

Therefore the odds of selecting a red candy is 3:4.

Hope that helps. x

The middle 5 in 0.555 is 1/10 the value of the 5 to its _____
Molodets [167]
Right. The first 5 is in the tenths place, the second five is in the hundredths, and the third one is in the thousandths. I'd like to think that if you take away (divide 1000 by ten) a tenth from the thousandths, that would leave you with the 5 in the middle being one tenth the value of the five to its right. (I'm not sure if this is correct or not, i'm just making an assumption). I would check with someone to make sure

sashaice [31]

Answer:

  942 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows the area to be 3/4 of that of a circle of radius 20 ft. The area of a circle is given by ...

  A = πr² = π(20 ft)² = 400π ft²

Then 3/4 of that area is ...

  dog run = (3/4)(400π ft²) = 300π ft² ≈ 942.48 ft²

The area of the dog's run is about 942 ft².

Find the value of x that makes mln (8x - 22) (5x + 290°​
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

give me brainliest now plsssss

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x-22)=5x+29

We move all terms to the left:

(8x-22)-(5x+29)=0

We get rid of parentheses

8x-5x-22-29=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3x-51=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

3x=51

x=51/3

x=17
