I think you need brackets to clarify what you mean. I think it should be written as 
10b/(2b + 8) 

If that is the case the reciprocal is

(2b + 8)/10b You just turn everything up side down. There are technical ways of doing this, but the easiest way is just to do what I just did. 

Put the numerator in  the denominator,
Put the denominator in the numerator.

You could simplify this a bit.
2b/10b + 8/10b
which reduces further.

1/5 + 4/5b 
Just to make sure you understand where that b is, I will do this in

Latex.\frac{2b + 8}{10b} =  \frac{2b}{10b} +  \frac{8}{10b} =  \frac{2}{10} + \frac{4}{5b} =  \frac{1}{5} +  \frac{4}{5b}

Alternate answer
If you do mean what your wrote then the reciprocal is 2b / 10b + 8 which is 1/5 + 8 = 8 + 0.2 = 8.2 

The 8 has nothing to do with the reciprocal under these conditions.

The answer
I have given you all the choices I can think of without going into decimals. If you have choices, please list them under the comments.

According to a report for veterinarians in the United States, 36.5 percent of households in the United States own dogs and 30.4
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer :E) Not enough information is given to determine the probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Le A denotes the event that households in the United States own dogs .

and B denotes the event that households in the United States own cats.

As per given , we have

P(A)=36.5%= 0.365

P(B)=30.4% = 0.304

To find the probability that the selected household will own a dog or a cat, we apply the following formula :

P(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)+P(A and B)

But P(A and B) is not given to us.

i..e the probability that a house hold own both a cat and adg is not given to us.

Therefore, The correct option is (E) Not enough information is given to determine the probability.

1. Write 3,876,943,000 using scientific notation.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

3.876943x10^9

7.317x10^-4

Step-by-step explanation:

3,876,943,000

Put the decimal at the end

3,876,943,000.

Move it so only 1 number is before the decimal

3.876943000

We moved it 9 places, so that is the exponent

We moved it to the left, so the exponent is positive

The three zeros at the end can be dropped because they are the last numbers to the right of the decimal

3.876943x10^9

0.0007317

Move it so only 1 number is before the decimal

00007.317

We moved it 4 places, so that is the exponent

We moved it to the right, so the exponent is negative

The four zeros at the left can be dropped because they are the last numbers to the left of the whole number

7.317x10^-4

Annie is running a trail that is 4 1/2 miles long. She ran the first 2/3 of the distance. Then the trail became very steep, so s
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Annie walked 1 11/12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Trail= 4 1/2 miles

Annie ran the first 2/3 miles

Remaining miles= Total miles - Miles covered first

= 4 1/2 - 2/3

= 9/2 - 2/3

= 27-4 / 6

= 23/6 miles

Remaining miles = 23/6 miles

Annie walked for 1/2 of the remaining distance

1/2 of the remaining miles= 1/2 × 23/6

=23 / 12

= 1 11/12

Annie walked 1 11/12 miles

Show how to make a ten to solve 13-7. Write the number sentence.
VARVARA [1.3K]
-7 + 3 + 10 = -4 + 10 = 10 - 4 = 6. 

To turn 13 into 10, you need to break it up into 10 + 3, which does not change the value of 13. Then, you add 3 to -7, which results in -4. Next, you add -4 to 10 (or rather, subtract 4 from 10), which results in 6.

£1290

Step-by-step explanation:

35%+40%= 75%

£600=25% £600÷20=30 25%of till = 30 notes 100%=120 notes

40% of 120 =48notes 48x10=£480

90notes-48notes=42notes

42x£5=£210

£600+£480+£210=£1290
