Answer:

13.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

With six employees and six checks, there are a total of 36 (6x6) possible distributions. To determine the probability that exactly five individuals receive the correct checks, there’s only one correct distribution for each of them out of the 36 possibilities, resulting in the calculation of 1/36 for the first and then 1/36 for the subsequent checks. Therefore, the final probability becomes 5/36 = 13.8%.

if you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2 what must be true about the sum? Give three examples to support y
lawyer [9240]

Response:

When combining two fractions that each exceeds 1/2, their sum will invariably exceed 1.

Detailed breakdown: 1/2 + 1/2 = 1    

Since both fractions exceed this amount, it is evident that the sum must as well.

Examples: 2/3+3/4= 1 5/12        4/6+6/9= 1 1/3

Hope this adds clarity

Sarah and her children went into a movie theater and she bought $35.50 worth of drinks and candies. Each drink costs $5 and each
AnnZ [9104]

Answer:

Sarah purchased 2 drinks and 6 candies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the quantity of drinks Sarah bought.

y ----> the number of candies acquired by Sarah.

We know that

the total spent on drinks and candies was $35.50

therefore,

5x+4.25y=35.50 -----> equation A

She bought 3 times more candies compared to drinks.

thus,

y=3x -----> equation B

To resolve the equations graphically

The solution lies at the intersection of the two graphs

utilizing a graphing tool

The result is the coordinate (2,6)

therefore,

Sarah bought 2 drinks and 6 candies.

In triangle RST, m∠R > m∠S + m∠T. Which must be true of triangle RST? Check all that apply.
zzz [9093]

Answer:

∠ R > 90°

\angle s + \angle T < \angle 90

\angle R > \angle T

\angle R > \angle S    

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado que en el triángulo RST

\angle R> (\angle s +\angle T)

Ahora, según la condición, un ángulo es mayor que la suma de los otros dos ángulos.

En un triángulo, la suma de los tres ángulos es 180°

Por lo tanto, si un ángulo mide  90°, la suma de los otros dos debe ser igual a 90°

Y si uno de los ángulos es de 90°, solo los otros dos pueden ser de 45° cada uno.

Aquí suponiendo que el ángulo s = ángulo T = 30°, entonces con esta condición el ángulo r sería de 120°, que es mayor que 90°.

De lo anterior, se concluye que

Para, \angle R> (\angle s +\angle T)

∵ ∠ R = 120°, por lo tanto es mayor que 90°.

Es decir, ∠ R > 90°

\angle s + \angle T < \angle 90

\angle R > \angle T

\angle R > \angle S   Respuesta

Inessa [9006]

Establish a proportion.

8/127=15/x

Cross multiply

8x=1,905

Divide each side by 8

x=238.125

The greatest of the actual distances is 238.125 km.

Hope this clarification helps:)
