Hello!

<u><em>Answer: ⇒ 1/38</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert element to fraction.

\frac{1}{2}\div \frac{19}{1}

Apply the fraction rule.

\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{19}

Then you can multiply by the fraction.

\frac{1*1}{2*19}

Multiply by the numbers.

1*1=1

\frac{1}{2*19}

=\frac{1}{38}

Hope this helps!

Thank you for posting your question at here on brainly.

Have a great day!

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y-intercept=20}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Let}\ k:y=_1x+b_1\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2.\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\============================\\\\\text{We have}\ y=\dfrac{3}{5}x+10\to m_1=\dfrac{3}{5}.\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{\frac{3}{5}}=-\dfrac{5}{3}.\\\\\text{The equation of the searched line:}\ y=-\dfrac{5}{3}x+b.\\\\\text{The line passes through }(15,\ -5).

\text{Put thecoordinates of the point to the equation.}\ x=15,\ y=-5:\\\\-5=-\dfrac{5}{3}(15)+b\\\\-5=(-5)(5)+b\\\\-5=-25+b\qquad\text{add 25 to both sides}\\\\b=20\\\\\boxed{y=-\dfrac{5}{3}x+20}

aliina [53]

Answer:

Number of milk chocolate in beg = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Probability of randomly choosing a dark chocolate = 3/8

Number of dark chocolate = 21

Find:

Number of milk chocolate in beg

Computation:

Number of milk chocolate in beg = Number of dark chocolate / Probability of randomly choosing a dark chocolate

Number of milk chocolate in beg = 21 / [3/8]

Number of milk chocolate in beg = 21[8/3]

Number of milk chocolate in beg = 7[8]

Number of milk chocolate in beg = 56
