Which number is the greater? -3/12 or -1

Mathematics
1 answer:
MA_775_DIABLO [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

-3/12

Step-by-step explanation:

In negative numbers, it's basically the opposite of regular numbers.

Let's explain negative numbers as debts. Let's say you owe a friend 1 dollar, and another 2 dollars. In a sense, you'll have -1 dollars, and -2 dollars. Which one is the greater number? It'll be -1 as you're only losing 1 dollar. Same goes here. Although 1 is a greater number than 3/12, in negative form it isn't.

A cell phone that regular costs $780 is on sale for 15% off. What is the total cost of the phone if you have to pay 5.5% sales t
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$700

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Regular cost of cell phone= $780

discount = 15%

tax = 5.5%

Step two

Let us compute the discounted amount

= 15/100*780

=0.15*780

=$117

hence the selling price is

=780-117

=$663

Also, the tax-deductible is

=5.5/100*663

=0.055*663

=$36.465

The total cost of the phone will be

=663+36.465

=699.465

=$700 to the nearest cent

lions [1.4K]

Answer:0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

An average of six cell phone thefts is reported in San Francisco per day. This means our mean value, u = 6

For poisson distribution,

P(x=r) = (e^-u×u^r)/r!

probability that four cell phones will be reported stolen tomorrow=

P(x=4)= (e^-6×6^4)/4!

= (0.00248×1296)/4×3×2×1

= 3.21408/24=

0.13392

P(x=5)= (e^-6×6^5)/5!

= (0.00248×7776)/5×4×3×2×1

= 19.28448/120

= 0.1607

probability that four or five cell phones will be reported stolen tomorrow

= P(x=4) + P(x=5)

= 0.13392 + 0.1607

= 0.294624

Approximately 0.29

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The probability of drawing three red marbles is 1/27, or about 3.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all the marbles:

5 + 4 + 6 = 15

Find favourable outcomes:

5

The probability for drawing a red marble is:

5/15 or 1/3

Multiply this ×3 to find the probability of drawing three red marbles.

1/3 × 1/3 × 1/3 = 1/27

1 ÷ 27 = 0.0370370370 ... repeating

saw5 [17]
Each student gets 2.5 cookies.
We know that there are 24 students there and 60 cookies, (since one ninth of 27 is 3 so 3 students are not there, and 24 are, and that 5 dozen is another way to write 60) we need to divide 60 by 24 which is 2.5.
