Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Miguel is playing a game
The box contains 4 chips, 2 with number 1, and other two differntly numbered as 3 and 5.
OUt of these 4, 2 chips are drawn
P(drawing same number) = 2C2/4C2 =
Prob (drawing differnt numbers) = 1-1/6 =
Hence prob of winning 2 dollars =
Prob of losing 1 dollar =
b) Expected value = sum of prob x amount won
= 
c) Miguel can expect to lose 1/2 dollars for every game he plays
d) If it is to be a fair game expected value =0
i.e. let the amount assigned be s
Then 
Probably $87 based on the information I was given.
Hey there!
The easiest way I could think to do this is by converting your mixed number to an improper fraction and multiplying the fraction by 2, or 2 over 1.
To multiply fractions, you can just multiply the numerators and denominators and simplify, if applicable.
Since you can't simplify this fraction in its improper form, just convert it back into a mixed number.
So, your answer will be
.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When we factor expressions, we look for factors within the terms that are alike, or in other words, we look for common factors. Here, 
and 
only have one common factor: 
. Therefore, to factorize this expression, divide both terms by .
Now, we've "carried" out of the expression and have therefore factored it.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
A: C = 2: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached pictures for the full solution.
Further explanantion (2nd image):
The reason why the ratio of A: C is equal to the ratio if 2A: 2C is that the number of parts of A and C is equal, which is 2 parts. If I were to divide both 2A and 2C by 2 to find the ratio of A: C, I would obtain 15: 15/2. However, ratios are expressed as whole numbers and thus, we would multiply the whole ratio by 2 again and the answer would still be 30: 15. This ratio is not in the simplest form since both can be divided by 15. Thus, dividing both sides of the ratio by 15 will leave us with the final answer of
A: C= 2: 1.
☆ An alternative method is to simplify the ratio 3B: 2C at the beginning.
3B: 2C
= 36: 15
= 12: 5
Multiply the first ratio by 2 so 3B has 12 parts in both ratios:
2A: 3B
= 10: 12
Combining the 2 ratios together,
2A: 3B: 2C
= 10: 6: 5
2A: 2C
= 10: 5
= 2: 1
A: C= 2: 1
