There are n nonfiction books and 12 fiction books on a bookshelf. If one of these books is selected at
random, what is the probability of selecting a nonfiction book, in terms of n?
A
n
12
B
n
n +12
С
12
n
D
12
n+12

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]P=\dfrac{n}{n+12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of non-fiction books = n

Number of fiction books = 12

We need to find the probability of selecting a nonfiction book, in terms of n.

Total no of books = non-fiction books + fiction books

= n+12

Probability = favourable outcomes/total no of outcomes

Here, favourable outcomes = n

So,

[tex]P=\dfrac{n}{n+12}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of selecting a non-fiction is [tex]\dfrac{n}{n+12}[/tex].

John writes the proof below to show that the sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180°. Which of these reasons would John NOT use in his proof? A.

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the resulting alternate interior angles are congruent. D. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the resulting alternate exterior angles are congruent. G-CO.10 2. In triangle ABC, ∠ = ∠ = . Which of these can be proved using the triangle s

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the resulting alternate exterior angles are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

In the proof to show that the sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°, we have;

For a triangle located between two parallel lines, such that the base of the triangle coincides with one of the parallel lines, we have;

The angle formed by one of the base angles and the adjacent side of the extension = 180° by the sum of angles on a straight line

From the attached diagram of a triangle between two parallel lines, we have;

∠e + ∠b = 180° by the sum of angles on a straight line postulate

∠e = ∠a + ∠d by alternate interior angles postulate

∠c = ∠d by alternate interior angles postulate

∴ ∠e = ∠a + ∠c by substitution property

∴ ∠e + ∠b = ∠a + ∠c + ∠b  = 180° by substitution property

Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle, ∠a + ∠c + ∠b  = 180°.

i don't understand how to do it

Answers

Answer:

5 L

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in question,

1 L can fill 4.2 cups.

So, 1 cup can hold [tex]\frac{1}{4.2}[/tex] L of fluid.

Therefore,

21 cups can hold = [tex]\frac{1}{4.2}[/tex] × 21

                            = 5 L

So, there is 5 L of fluid in 21 cups.

5 liters, because if you use divide 21 cups by 4.2 cups (1 liter), you will come out to 5 liters

The basketball team spends 20 minutes running laps and at least 15 minutes discussing plays. Practice lasts one hour and 45 minutes. Write an inequality to represent the amount of time to work on other drills. Just type in the final answer. Let: x=other drills

Answers

Answer:

x ≤ 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the inequality function is as follows:

Let us assume the remaining time left for other drills be x

Given that the team spends 20 minutes for running laps

And minimum of 15 minutes for discussing plays

Also practicing for last one hour and 45 minutes

Now as we know that

1 hour = 60 minutes

So total minutes would be

= 60 + 45

= 105 minutes

Total minutes spend by the team is

= 20 + 15

= 35 minutes

So now the remaining time left is

x ≤ 105 - 35

x ≤ 75

= 100 / 2 (1500/5 (10))

Answer:

x column- 1.25, 7.5, 45.

y column- 5, 30, 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, to start off, we need to find how 1.25 got to 5. If we divide it, we get 4. So we go to 7.5 and multiply it by 4, since that seems to be the relationship between x and y. 7.5x4=30, which is an answer. So the second spot in the y column is where 30 goes. Now we figure out the relationship between the two numbers in the x column so we can figure out the missing one. When you divide 7.5 by 1.25, you get 6. So, if 1.25x6 makes the next number in the x column, 7.5x6 should make the missing number. 7.5x6 is 45, so the missing number in the x column is 45. Now we go back and multiply 45 by 4, which gets us 180.

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 1 3/4 miles in 2 1/3 minutes. How far will it travel in 45 minutes? In 1 hour?

Answers

Answer:

33.75 miles in 45 minutes,

45 miles in an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

45 minutes: 2 1/3= 7/3 ---> 7/3*3=7,

                    1 3/4= 7/4 ---> 7/4*3=5.25

car travels 5.25 miles for every 7 minutes,

45/7*5.25= 33.75 miles

1 hour (60 minutes):

using that the car travels 5.25 miles for every 7 minutes,

60/7*5.25= 45 miles
