Answer:

Charles missed 2 shots

Step-by-step explanation:

Alrighty, so Charles shot 40 times and of those 40 times, he missed 10 times. We can represent that as a fraction:

10/40

It also says that if he were to shoot 8 times, how many baskets would he miss. In the fraction above we have:

shots missed/total shots

Proportions can help us solve this:

10/40 = x/8 (we have an x because we don't know how many baskets he missed; that's what we're trying to find)

Now we can cross multiply and arrive at our answer, x:

40x = 80

x = 2

This means that Charles must've missed 2 shots.

Hope this helps :)

Add. Express your answer in standard form. (−3+5i)+(6+2i). Enter your answer in the box.

You add/subtract complex numbers simply by adding/subtracting real parts and imaginary parts.

So, the real part of this sum is the sum of the real parts:

$-3+6=3$

And the imaginary part of this sum is the sum of the imaginary parts:

$5i+2i=7i$

So, you have

$(-3+5i)+(6+2i) = 3+7i$

Write this ratio as a fraction in simplest form without any units. 5 weeks to 10 days

1/2. If you take out the units you're left with 5 to 10 or 5/10. 5 is half of 10 therefore the simplest form would be 1/2.
