14) Samantha ran to the store to pick up some candy. The store had 12 aisles. Ashley randomly picked an aisle to

start looking for cereal. What is the probability that she chose an aisle that is a factor of 24?

Total possible outcomes:

# of factors of 24:

P (Factor of 24)

58.33% probability that she chose an aisle that is a factor of 24

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

12 values, from 1 to 12.

Of those:

1,2,3,4,6,8 and 12 are factors of 24. That is, the division of 24 by these values leaves no remainder.

So

There are7 values which are factors of 24.

7/12 = 0.5833

58.33% probability that she chose an aisle that is a factor of 24

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
