3/8 of a foot = 3/8 x 12/1  or 4  1/2 inches

So our 1/2 inch grows by a factor of 9  because 4 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 9  Think how many 1/2 dollars are in 4  1/2 dollars.  (Answer is 9)

So our 8 4/9 in the catalog has to grow the same

8  4/9   x 9  = 8  4/9  x 9/1 = 76/9 x 9/1  or 76 inches which is 6 ft 4 inches.
(76 ÷12 = 6 r4)

3 + 5.2x= 1 - 2.8x how do I solve this?
MrRa [10]
3+5.2x=1-2.8x

1. 3+5.2x+2.8x=1

2. 5.2x+2.8x=1-3

5.2x+2.8x=1-3

1. 8x=1-3

2. 8x=-2

8x=-2

1. =-(1/4)

Alternative form:

2. x=-0.25

In a large population, 61 % of the people have been vaccinated. if 4 people are randomly selected, what is the probability that
muminat
In a large population, 61% of the people are vaccinated, meaning there are 39% who are not. The problem asks for the probability that out of the 4 randomly selected people, at least one of them has been vaccinated. Therefore, we need to add all the possibilities that there could be one, two, three or four randomly selected persons who were vaccinated.

For only one person, we use P(1), same reasoning should hold for other subscripts.

P(1) = (61/100)(39/100)(39/100)(39/100) = 0.03618459
P(2) = (61/100)(61/100)(39/100)(39/100) = 0.05659641
P(3) = (61/100)(61/100)(61/100)(39/100) = 0.08852259
P(4) = (61/100)(61/100)(61/100)(61/100) = 0.13845841

Adding these probabilities, we have 0.319761. Therefore the probability of at least one person has been vaccinated out of 4 persons randomly selected is 0.32 or 32%, rounded off to the nearest hundredths.
