A science class has 5 girls and 3 boys in the seventh grade and 4 girls and 4 boys in the eighth grade. The teacher randomly selects a seventh grader and an
eighth grader from the class for a competition. What is the probability that the students she selects are both boys?
Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the probability of picking two boys, we need to first know how many different ways she can pick the 7th and 8th grader.

There are 12 7th-graders and 8 8th-graders. So the total number of ways she can pick is:

12

×

8

=

96

To get two boys picked, there are 5 boys in the 7th-grade class and 4 in the 8th-grade class, so there are:

5

×

4

=

20

ways

Which gives us the probability of:

6x - 9 = 2x +7 what is x

Answers

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    6*x-9-(2*x+7)=0

Pull out like factors :

  4x - 16  =   4 • (x - 4)

Solve :    4   =  0

Add  4  to both sides of the equation :

                     x = 4

2x - 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = sum of sides

First let's simplify each side

We can simplify each side by using distributive property. Distributive property is where you multiply the number on the outside of the parenthesis by the numbers on the inside of the parenthesis.

2(x + 5)

Distribute by multiplying x and 5 by 2

2 * x = 2x and 2 * 5 = 10

2x + 10

1/2(4x + 8)

Distribute by multiplying 4x and 8 by 1/2

1/2 * 4x = 2x and 1/2 * 8 = 4

2x + 4

-3(2x + 11)

Distribute by multiplying 2x and 11 by -3

-3 * 2x = -6x

-3 * -33

-6x - 33

Finally add all the simplified expressions ( remember that they represent the side lengths of the triangle )

2x + 10 + 2x + 4 - 6x - 33

Combine like terms

2x + 2x - 6x = -2x

10 + 4 - 33 = -19

Perimeter: -2x - 19

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't draw here, but I can describe :

an isoceles triangle means that 2 sides of the triangle are equally long (they are typically called the "legs" left and right on top of the baseline).

this fact makes the triangle symmetrical.

and that means that 2 angles are also equal (the angles of the legs with the baseline).

so, knowing that one angle is 34 degrees can mean 2 things :

either 34 degrees is the angle between the 2 legs, or it is one of the 2 equal angles between legs and baseline.

as we know the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

so case 1 : 34 degrees is the angle between the legs

180 = 34 + 2×base-leg-angle

144 = 2×base-leg-angle

each base-leg-angle = 72 degrees

case 2 : 34 degrees is one of the base-leg-angles

180 = 2×34 + between-the-legs-angle

180 = 68 + between-the-legs-angle

between-the-legs-angle = 112 degrees

so, you need to draw one triangle for each case.

since we don't know anything about the side lengths, size does not matter. only the angles need to be correct :

one triangle with 34, 72, 72 degrees

and one triangular with 34, 34, 112 degrees

a regular pentagon is divided into 5 isoscleles triangles work out the size of angle x angle y angle z

Answers

Answers:

x = 72

y = 54

z = 54

================================================================

The regular pentagon has all five sides the same length. It also has all interior angles the same measure. This leads to y = z. These two angles are the congruent base angles of the isosceles triangle. The base angles are opposite the congruent sides.

The fact that we have a regular pentagon also means that the five triangles shown are identical copies of one another (i.e. they are congruent triangles). Divide the full 360 degree rotation into 5 parts to get 360/5 = 72, which represents the measure of the central angle x.

--------------

For any triangle, the three angles always add to 180. This means,

x+y+z = 180

72+y+z = 180 .... plug in x = 72

72+y+y = 180 ... recall that y = z

2y+72 = 180

2y = 180-72

2y = 108

y = 108/2

y = 54, which is also the measure of angle z as well

--------------

As a quick check,

x+y+z = 72+54+54 = 180

which helps confirm the answer.

How to calculate unit price of something?

Unit means 'single entity', the fundamental constructing block. Usually, it is 1 in mathematics and science.

Thus, unit price of something is price of 1 thing.

Thus, suppose we're taking about price of mangoes, then unit price will denote the price of 1 mango.

There are 16 cups in a gallon, and if each person will eat 2 cups, and there are 24 people, multiply 24 by 2 to get the number of cups.

24 x 2 = 48.

Then, divide that by 16 (the number of cups in a gallon) to how many gallons.

48 ÷ 16 = 3

Therefore, he needs 3 gallons.
