<h2>Answer:</h2>

As a percent, the odds of having an allergic reaction would be 2%.

This is because 1 in 50 of a chance, is equal to 1/50, and to make this a percent out of 100, just multiply both parts of the fraction by 2.

None of the choices equal 1/50, so let's just make it a percentage anyway.

1/50 ---> 0.02

0.02 ---> 2%

The answer is 2%, or 1/50 as a fraction.

Felipe planted some seeds for a science project. One of his plants grew 6 2/7 inches in the first week, and then it grew 5 11/14

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The plant grew $12\frac{1}{14}$ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Operations with Fractions

Felipe planted seeds for a science project. One of the plants grew 6 2/7 inches in the first week and 5 11/14 inches in the second week.

We are required to find the total growth during the two weeks. We have to find the sum of:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}$

Let's convert both fractions to improper form:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=6+\frac{2}{7}+5+\frac{11}{14}$

Adding the integers:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{2}{7}+\frac{11}{14}$

Now we find the LCM of 7 and 14 is 14, thus:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{4}{14}+\frac{11}{14}$

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{15}{14}=11+\frac{14+1}{14}$

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+1+\frac{1}{14}$

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=12+\frac{1}{14}$

Rewriting as a mixed number:

The plant grew $12\frac{1}{14}$ inches

A cylinder has a base area of 28.2 m2 and a height of 3.1 m. Estimate the volume of the cylinder. A) 31 m3 B) 31 m2 Eliminate C)

Irina18 [472]

The answer can't be C or D because the unit of volume is always cubed. The formula for volume of cylinder is (pi)(r^2)(h) . The pi(r^2) part is the formula for area of a circle which is what the base of the cylinder is. Fortunately the area is already given as 28.2. Plug that into the volume formula and plug in 3.1 for the height and multiply. I get 87.42 and the answer choice B seems to be the closest option
