That’s correct. In total, they possess 1/3 pound of cake. To share it equally among three individuals, we need to divide 1/3 by 3, or alternatively, 1/3 multiplied by 1/3 gives us 1/9 pound each.

Response:

1). True

2). 3

3), \frac{1}{9}

Explanation:

Gavin and his three friends are trying to split \frac{1}{3} pounds of cake evenly.

According to Gavin, each friend will receive \frac{1}{9} pounds, which is accurate because dividing \frac{1}{3} pounds among three friends means dividing by 3.

Cake shared among three friends = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{3}=\frac{1}{(3)(3)}=\frac{1}{9}. This can be expressed as (\frac{1}{3})(\frac{1}{3})=\frac{1}{9}.

Thus, Gavin is True. To determine the amount of cake each individual will have, divide \frac{1}{3} by 3, or multiply \frac{1}{3} by \frac{1}{3}.

Therefore, each friend receives \frac{1}{9} pounds of cake.

This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, that are longer than the length of the base, b. The perimeter of the t
Leona [9271]

B refers to the base of the triangle,
and a signifies the length of the two identical sides.


The measurement labeled as 'a' is larger than 'b' since those equal sides are longer than the base. Given "one of the longer sides measures 6.3 cm," we assign a = 6.3.


Substitute 6.3 for each 'a' in the equation and solve for b:
2a + b = 15.7
2(6.3) + b = 15.7
12.6 + b = 15.7
b = 15.7 - 12.6 (applying subtraction property of equality)
b = 3.1

A survey asked students whether they have any siblings and pets. the survey data are shown in the relative frequency table.
PIT_PIT [9117]

Response:

The probability that a student has a pet, given they do not have any siblings is:

Option: D ( 60%)

Step-by-step breakdown:

Let A represent the situation where a student lacks a sibling.

Let B signify the occurrence that a student has a pet.

Consequently, A∩B refers to the event in which a student is without siblings but possesses a pet.

Let P denote the chance of an event happening.

We need to determine:

P(B|A)

From our knowledge:

P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(A)}

From the data provided:

P(A)=0.25

and P(A∩B)=0.15

Thus,

P(B|A)=\dfrac{0.15}{0.25}\\\\P(B|A)=\dfrac{3}{5}\\\\P(B|A)=0.6

which expressed as a percentage is:

0.6\times 100=60\%

Therefore, the probability is:

60%

Inessa [9000]
Assuming a maximum rental duration of 8 days, if we apply this to the equation, Happy Harry's Rentals costs $500, while Smilin' Sam's charges $600. Therefore, for the 7th and 8th days, Happy Harry's Rentals is a better option, while Smilin' Sam's is preferable for the first six days.

The segments shown below could form a triangle.
AnnZ [9099]

Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triangle Inequality Theorem establishes that the sum of two sides must exceed the length of the third side. Let’s verify this.

a + b

9 + 1 = 10>9

a + c

9 + 9 = 18>1

c + b

9 + 1 = 10>9

530 p.m. = 17:50 en 24 horas/tipo militar

915 p.m. = 21:15 en 24 horas/tipo militar

por lo tanto..

24 horas/tipo militar. 21:15 - 17:50 = 3.65 horas
