This question is easy once you understand. So when adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing with whole numbers you turn it into a fraction. So 12 is going to become 12/1. 8 1/8 is a mixed number so we have to turn it into an incomplete fraction. Here is how you do it. Multiply the denominator by the who number. So 8 x 8 = 64. Then you add your product to the numerator, which will make it 65. Then after this you keep your denominator giving you 65/8. Now we have to find the common denominator by finding the LCM. So the LCM is 8. Next we divide the old denominator by the new denominator. So 1 goes into 8, 8 times. And next 8 x the numerator. so 8 x 12 = 96. We do the same to the other side. Now we have 96/8 - 65/8 = 31/8. Finally we make this a mixed number. So 31 divided by 8. So you should get 3 7/8.
I hope this helps! :)
Answer:
1/25 of a mile per minute, I think
Step-by-step explanation:
A*5+b*2=145
a +b =50 | * -2
5a +2b=145
-2a -2b = -100
----------------------
5a-2a = 145-100
3a= 45
a=45:3
a=15 questions are worth 5 p
b=50-15=35 questions worth 2 p
Let X be the number of boys in n selected births. Let p be the probability of getting baby boy on selected birth.
Here n=10. Also the male and female births are equally likely it means chance of baby boy or girl is 1/2
P(Boy) = P(girl) =0.5
p =0.5
From given information we have n =10 fixed number of trials, p is probability of success which is constant for each trial . And each trial is independent of each other.
So X follows Binomial distribution with n=10 and p=0.5
The probability function of Binomial distribution for k number of success, x=k is given as
P(X=k) = 
We have to find probability of getting 8 boys in n=10 births
P(X=8) = 
= 45 * 0.0039 * 0.25
P(X = 8) = 0.0438
The probability of getting exactly 8 boys in selected 10 births is 0.044
