Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 1 - 5 = -4...
Since 1 is less than 5, we know that the difference is negative, so we can rewrite this expression as -(5-1).
5 - 1 = 4, so - (5-1) = -4.
Answer in fraction form = 1/20
Answer in decimal form = 0.05
Answer in percent form = 5%
These are three ways to express the same thing

Explanation:
Assume the gumball machine only has 5 gumballs, one of each color. The probability of getting yellow is 1/5 since there is one that is yellow out of 5 total.
The probability of getting a lion rubber band is 1/4 for similar reasoning as above.
Because the two events (getting yellow, getting a lion) are independent, this means we can multiply the two probabilities to get (1/5)*(1/4) = 1/20
Use your calculator to see that 1/20 = 0.05 which converts to 5% when you move the decimal point over 2 spots to the right.
1 pound = 16 ounces
So we have 85 lbs and 2 oz, that is if we convert them to ounces:
85(16) + 2 = 1362 oz
so we have 1362 oz total due to the conversion factor stated above, now we only need to divide:
1362/6 = 227
that is 227 oz
or if we want the result in pounds (lbs), we can by dividing again by 16
227/16 = 14.19 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
a rectangular prism (like this brick) has the same basic structure as a cube (like a die) : it has 6 sides.
while a die has 6 equal sides, a rectangular prism has 3 pairs of equal sides :
top and bottom
left and right
front and back
all we have to do is calculate the areas of the 6 rectangles and add them up. that's it.
your remember, the area of a rectangle is
length × width
in our case we have
top and bottom : 2.5×11.5 × 2 = 28.75×2 = 57.5 in²
left and right : 2.5×5 × 2 = 12.5×2 = 25 in²
front and back : 11.5×5 × 2 = 57.5×2 = 115 in²
so, the total surface area of the whole block is
57.5 + 25 + 115 = 197.5 in²
