<h3>Answer:  5/48</h3>

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

Work Shown:

We'll divide the total 5/8 evenly among the 6 cousins.

(5/8) ÷ 6 = (5/8) ÷ (6/1)

(5/8) ÷ 6 = (5/8) * (1/6)

(5/8) ÷ 6 = (5*1)/(8*6)

(5/8) ÷ 6 = 5/48

Each cousin gets 5/48 of the aunt's assets.

So for instance, if the aunt had $48,000 in assets, then each cousin gets (5/48)*(48,000) = 5000 dollars.

------------------

An alternative approach:

Draw 6 rectangles side by side that represent the 6 cousins. Then divide each rectangle into 8 pieces, with 5 pieces shaded. The yellow pieces represent the amount given to the cousins. For any given rectangle, 5/8 of it is shaded yellow. Refer to the diagram below.

Overall we have 6*8 = 48 pieces.

The first cousin gets 5 yellow pieces out of 48 total. The same applies to the other five cousins. So this is a visual way to arrive at the answer 5/48.

finlep [7]
Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:


y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line
(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points


On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:


y = mx + b, where,
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept


In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation. 
The equation of a line given two points needs to be found. Samuel claims that slope-intercept form will generate the equation and Helena claims that point-slope form will find the equation. Who is correct? Explain your reason by describing both forms.

Answer:

with 0.10 level of significance the P-VALUE that would be used in the hypothesis claim is 0.05%

Step-by-step explanation:

In hypothesis testing in statistics, we can say that the p-value is a probability of obtaining test results when we assume that the null hypothesis is correct.

The p-value is the probability that the null hypothesis is true.

A p-value less than or equals to 0.05  is statistically significant. It shows strong evidence against the null hypothesis, meaning  there is less than a 5% probability the null is correct and clearly we can say that the results are random.

What is the numerical sum of the degree measures of ∠DEA and ∠AEB?
inessss [21]
The angles are supplementary, therefore totaling them at 180°.

And because I'm bored, I'll solve for x for you!

(x + 25) + (9x + 10) = 180
10x + 35 = 180
Subtract 35 from both sides.
10x = 145
Divide by 10 on both sides.
x = 14.5
