The odds against a spinner showing an even number are 3:8. What is the probability of the spinner showing an even number?

1 answer:

6 0

Odds: yes/no
Probability: yes/total

3:8 represents odds of 'not even' which is the same as odds of an odd number being spun.
There are 3 odd numbers and 8 even numbers.
P(even) = 8/11

taurus [48]

Answer:

The height of the flagpole is 46 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the ratio to connect the variables

Tan(∅) = opposite/adjacent

Plug in the Variables

Tan(39) = x/50

Solve for x

50*tan(39) = x

x = 40.48

Don't forget to include the man's height

40.48 + 6 = 46.48
