Answer:  Choice A. 3/7

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

Explanation:

We have a 5 by 3 grid of letters. There are 5*3 = 15 letters total.

Of that total, there are 5 vowels (2 'e's in row 1, 2 'e's in row 2, and 1 'e' in row 3)

So there are 15-5 = 10 consonants.

The probability of pulling out a consonant is 10/15 = 2/3

After selecting that consonant, we have 10-1 = 9 consonants left out of 15-1 = 14 letters total.

The probability of selecting a second consonant, after not replacing the first selection, is 9/14.

Multiply the two fractions found:

(2/3)*(9/14) = (2*9)/(3*14) = 18/42 = 3/7

To reduce 18/42, we divide both parts by the GCF 6, which is how we end up with 3/7.

Answers

Answer:

Obtuse scalene

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

obtuse scalene

Step-by-step explanation:

Scalene means that none of the sides are equal.

Isosceles means that two of the sides are equal.

Obtuse means an angle in the triangle is larger than 90 degrees.

Acute means all angles in the triangle are smaller than 90 degrees.

None of the sides are equal so this triangle has to be scalene and the angle in the bottom right is larger than 90 degrees so this triangle is obtuse.

Stephen says that the numbers 38 and 40 are relatively prime. Explain why he is incorrect in making this statement.

Answers

Answer: 38 and 40 are both even numbers.

even numbers cannot be prime numbers; as they have their own factors.

prime numbers only have two factors: the number 1 and the number itself.

example: 17 is a prime number. the only factors it has is 1 and 17.

38 and 40 are both divisible by 2, so they have more than two factors:

38 = 1 * 38,  2 * 19

40 = 1 * 40, 2 * 20, 4 * 10, 4 * 5

therefore, they are not relatively prime, or prime at all; they are even numbers.

Answer:

they are not because 40 has more that 1 factor it has more than 2 which makes it composite  38 on the other hand is relatively prime it only has 2 factors

What is the probability of rolling a number less than 6 on a number cube labeled 1 through 6?
A. Likely
B. unlikely
C. as likely as not
D. impossible
F. certain

Answers

Answer:

A. likely

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Numbers less than 6 are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

So the chance to roll a number less than 6 is 5/6, which has a probability of likely as there are more chances to roll a number less than 6

3,000 pounds of sand is usede to fill sandboxes. 1,000 pounds can fill the big sandbox, and the rest can fill 4 equal-sized smaller sandboxes. how much sand can be put in each of the smaller sandboxes?

Answers

500pounds because 2000 (the left over sand after you fill the big box) divided by 4(smaller sandboxes) is 500

The amount of sand that can be put in each of the smaller sandboxes is 500 pounds.

What is division?

Division is breaking a number up into an equal number of parts.

Given that, 3,000 pounds of sand is used to fill sandboxes. 1,000 pounds can fill the big sandbox, and the rest can fill 4 equal-sized smaller sandboxes.

Amount left after filling the larger box = 3000-1000 = 2000 pounds

To find the equal amount of sand to be filled in 4 smaller boxes, we will divide the amount left to the number of boxes.

= 2000/4

= 500

Hence, The amount of sand that can be put in each of the smaller sandboxes is 500 pounds.

How is an exponential growth function of the form ​f(x)=a(1+r)^x related to an exponential function of the form ​f(x)=a*b^x?
A.
The value of a is the growth​ factor, and b is equal to the initial amount r.
B.
The value of a is the growth​ factor, and b is equal to the initial amount ​(1+​r).
C.
The value of a is the initial​ amount, and b is equal to the growth factor ​(1+​r).
D.
The value of a is the initial​ amount, and b is equal to the growth factor r.

Answers

The true statement is (c) the value of a is the initial​ amount, and b is equal to the growth factor ​(1+​r).

How to compare the functions?

The functions are given as:

f(x) = a(1 + r)^x

f(x) = a * b^x

An exponential growth function is represented as:

y = ab^x

Where

a represents the initial valueb represents the rate

By comparison:

b = 1 + r

Hence, the true statement is (c) the value of a is the initial​ amount, and b is equal to the growth factor ​(1+​r).
