A bowl of candy is sitting on the counter. If there are twelve blue pieces, fourteen red pieces, and six yellow pieces in the bowl, what is the probability of randomly selecting a blue piece?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

(3)/(8)  or 37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

A bowl of candy is sitting on the counter.

Blue pieces = 12

Red pieces = 14

Yellow pieces = 6

Total candy = 12 + 14 + 6 = 32 pieces

The probability of randomly selecting a blue piece = (12)/(32) =  (3)/(8)

The probability of randomly selecting a blue piece = (3)/(8) 37.5%
Answer 2
Answer: if you add 12(blue) 14(red) 6(yellow) you get 32 so 12/32 is 0.37

How does your answer help you solve a division equation such as x/7 =2 ?

Answers

dunno

I can solve it though
x/7=2
multiply both sides by 7
x/7 times 7/1=2 times 7
7x/7 =14
7/7 times x/1=14
1 times x=14
x=14


answer is 14

hmm, maybe multiply bottom number by the one on the other side of the equal sign
You plug in your answer for x and solve it to see if it = 2. So x=14. You plug it back into the equation. 14/7=2
2=2
Your answer is correct.

420 out of 560 = ? We should simplify this question to (divide by 2) 210/280 /////  Then 105/140. Now divide by 5 ////// 21/28 = 3/4. 100% divided by 4 = 25, then 25 * 3 = 75%.

Solve the equation for x square root x-8+2=7

Answers

Square root x=13

x=169

Hope you get it!

Final answer:

To solve the equation x^2√x-8+2=7, follow these steps: combine like terms, square both sides, simplify, take the cube root, and simplify again to find x = 3.

Explanation:

To solve the equation x2√x-8+2=7, we need to isolate the variable x. Here are the steps:

  1. Combine like terms: x2√x = 3.
  2. Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root: (x2√x)2 = 32.
  3. Simplify: x3 = 9.
  4. Take the cube root of both sides: (∛x3) = (∛9).
  5. Simplify: x = 3.

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 3.

A graphic designer created a logo on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. In order to place on a business card the logo needs to be 1 7/10 inches by 2 1/5. What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Answers

k  - scale factor
a = 8 1/2
b = 11
a₁ = 1 7/10
b₁ = 2 1/5


k = (a_1)/(a)=\frac{b_1}b\n\n\n(a_1)/(a)=(1 (7)/(10))/(8\frac12)=1 (7)/(10):8\frac12=(17)/(10):\frac{17}2=(17)/(10)\cdot\frac2{17}=\frac15\cdot\frac11=\frac15\n\n\n(b_1)/(b)=(2 (1)/(5))/(11)=2\frac15:11=(11)/(5)\cdot\frac1{11}=\frac15\cdot\frac11=\frac15 \n\n\n(a_1)/(a)=\frac{b_1}b=\frac15\ \ \ \implies\ \ \ k=\frac15
