Answer:

Sample Response: The goal is to get x alone on one side of the equals sign. First, isolate the variable by applying the subtraction property of equality to subtract 1/2x from both sides. Next, find a common denominator to combine like terms. Then use inverse operations to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction coefficient. The result will be x = 16. Finally, check the solution by substituting 16 for x in the original equation.

Answer:

$\frac{8}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of selecting a girl from students is $\frac{4}{5}$

probability of girl wearing sneaker from girls is $\frac{4}{10}$ or $\frac{2}{5}$

hence, probability of selecting a girl wearing a sneaker will be,

⇒ probability = probability of delecting a girl from students × probability of girl wearing sneakers from girls

⇒ probability = $(\frac{4}{5})( \frac{2}{5})$

⇒ probability = $\frac{8}{25}$
