In mr. martinez’s class there are 8 boys and 12 girls. what is the probability of randomly selecting a girl?

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 20 people altogether in the class (12 plus 8)

since 12 of them are girls the probability it 12/20

but to simplify it we divide both sides of the fraction by 4 (as that's the largest whole number they will both divide by) and we get 3/5

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested
