Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: The probability that the fruit is an orange or a pear is (1)/(3) .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Emily has 12 fruits in her bowl.

She has 3 apples, 5 bananas, 1 pear and 3 oranges.

A fruit is selected at random.

P(orange)  = \frac{\text{Number of oranges}}{\text{Total fruits}}

=(3)/(12)

P(pear)= \frac{\text{Number of pears}}{\text{Total fruits}}

=(1)/(12)

Since both events of selecting orange and pear are mutually exclusive , so

The probability that the fruit is an orange or a pear = P(orange) + P(pear)

=(3)/(12)+(1)/(12)=(4)/(12)=(1)/(3)

Therefore , the probability that the fruit is an orange or a pear is (1)/(3) .

Answers

Answer:

B: 5.6 x 10 to the 12th power.

Step-by-step explanation:

8* 10^7  * 7* 10^4

Multiply the first terms and add the powers of 10

56 * 10 ^(7+4)

56. * 10 ^11

This is not proper scientific notation

We can only have one number in front of the decimal.  We have to move the decimal one place to the left, which means we add one to the exponent

5.6  * 10^ (11+1)

5.6  * 10^12

What is mean by Circle?

The circle is a closed two dimensional figure , in which the set of all points is equidistance from the center.

Now, We can Draw a line from point ( 0.6, 0.8 ) to the X - axis, forming a right triangle with hypotenuse = r = 1 , adjacent = 0.6,  opposite = 0.8

Hence, We can formulate;

⇒ cos θ = 0.6 / 1

⇒ θ = cos ⁻¹ 0.6

⇒ θ = 53.13°

Thus, The value of cos θ is,

⇒ cos  θ = 0.6

Answer:

cos \theta = 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a line from point ( 0.6, 0.8 ) to the X - axis, forming a right triangle with hypotenuse = r = 1 , adjacent = 0.6,  opposite = 0.8

cos \theta = (adjacent)/(hypotenuse) , \ where  \  adjacent = 0.6 ,\  hypotenuse \  = r= 1

cos \theta = (0.6)/(1)\n\ncos \theta = 0.6\n\n\theta = cos^(-1) \ 0.6\n\n\theta = 53.13^\circ
