Answer:

Aubrey ran 3 1/3 miles further than what she walked.

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be your basic subtraction problem. So, 13 1/6 - 9 5/6.

Since you can't subtract 5/6 from 1/6, let's borrow from 13. Now, instead of 13, it would be 12. Adding the whole (1) or 6/6 to the 1/6, you'll get 7/6. Now you can subtract. 7/6 - 5/6 = 2/6. Moving on, 12 - 9 = 3.

Therefore, your answer is 3 2/6. In simplified terms, it would be 3 1/3.

A bag contains 3 red marbles 4 blue marbles and 7 Green marbles if two marbles are drawn out of the bag what is the probability

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

0.368

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red marbles= 3

Number of blue marbles= 4

Number of green marbles= 7

Total number of marbles= 3+4+7= 14

Let the first ball is taken out to be red

P(R)= $\frac{3}{14}$

than again a second ball is drawn, number of balls left= 14-1=13

Number of red= 2

P(R)= $\frac{2}{13}$

Total probability= $\frac{3}{14}$ + $\frac{2}{13}$

Total probability= 0.368

Hence, the correct answer is 0.368

If AABC = ADFE determine the values of x and y.

natita [175]

$8y - 5 = 99 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 8y = 99 + 5 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 8y = 104 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: y= \frac{104}{8} \\ \: \: \: \ \: \: \: y = 13$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: 2y + x = 38.4 \\ 2(13) + x = 38.4 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: 26 + x = 38.4 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x = 38.4 - 26 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x = 12.4$
