Captain Emily has a ship, the H. M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is four furlongs from the dread pirate Ashley and her merciless band of thieves. If her ship hasn't already been hit, Captain Emily has probability \dfrac{1}{2} 2 1 start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction of hitting the pirate ship. If her ship has been hit, Captain Emily will always miss. If her ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Ashley has probability \dfrac{1}{6} 6 1 start fraction, 1, divided by, 6, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship. If her ship has been hit, dread pirate Ashley will always miss. If the Captain and the pirate each shoot once, and the Captain shoots first, what is the probability that the Captain hits the pirate ship, but the pirate misses?

the answer is 8/21

hope this

multiply then divide

step-by-step explanation:

alright so i think for this one it would to draw it out. this may be hard for me to try and draw, but i will do my best on here:

notice how it forms 2 triangles inside one bigger triangle.

so if we know the angle spr is the same as psr that is saying the measure of angle p is the same as angle s. this means the big triangle psr is either isosceles or equilateral. in both cases, the triangle is perfectly symmetrical when split down the middle, which is in this case rq. because we know it is perfectly symmetrical on both sides, we know that the two triangles inside the bigger one are equal.

if you get paid hourly because if you get a salary you could work all week and only get paid a certain amount no matter how much you work but if you get paid hourly then you get paid for every minute you worked.
