Important: Please express fractions properly: use the " / " symbol to represent division. Your question should read:

"<span>A Mallard duck flies 5/6 of a mile in 1/60 of a hour. Find the rate (speed) at which it flies."

To do this, divide the distance flown by the elapsed time:
5
5/6 mile -----
----------------- = -------6------------- miles / hr
1/60 hour </span>
1
-----
60

to divide 5/6 by 1/60, write 5/6 and multiply that by the reciprocal of 1/60.

In other words, write 5/6, invert (1/60) and then multiply.

This comes out to (5)(60)
---------- mph
(6)(1)

Do not multiply here. Instead, reduce 60/6 to 10/1.

Can you now write out the final answer, in mph? (miles per hour)

Juan is spinning a wheel with 4 unequal spaces marked with values of $200, $300, $400, and $600. The probability of landing on $

Blababa [14]

Answer:

333 and 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

a]

The expected value of spinning the wheel is given by:

E(x)=2/9(200)+4/9(300)+2/9(400)+1/9(600)

E(x)=44 4/9+133 1/3+88 8/9+66 2/3

E(x)=333 1/3

b] The expected value of spinning the wheel thrice will be:

(expected value of spinning once)*(number of spins)

=333 1/3*3

=1000/3*3

=1000

A pond had 60 fish. 27 were carp and the rest were tench. 10 fish were added. The probability that a fish picked at random is a

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: 2

<u>Explanation:</u>

A pond had 60 fish but 10 were added so now the pond has 70 fish.

The probability of choosing a carp is 1/2 so $\frac{1}{2} (70)$ = 35 are now carp.

There were 27 carp and now there are 35 carp so 8 carp were added.

10 fish were added and 8 of them were carp so 2 of them were tench.

n a right triangle, the tangent of angle A is 912 and the cosine of angle A is 1215. Based on these values, what is the sine of

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Option A $sin(A)=\frac{9}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$tan(A)=sin(A)/cos(A)$

Solve for sin(A)

$sin(A)=tan(A)cos(A)$

we have

$tan(A)=\frac{9}{12}$

$cos(A)=\frac{12}{15}$

substitute

$sin(A)=\frac{9}{12}(\frac{12}{15})$

$sin(A)=\frac{9}{15}$
