Ms. Ellis baked 50 cookies for her son’s class party. She put sprinkles on 43 of the cookies. If the cookies are passed out randomly, what is the probability that the first student will get a cookie that does not have sprinkles? 7% 7%

14%

43%

86%

step-by-step explanation:

consider the parallelogram shown in the attached image.

in the parallelogram hijk, the length of hk is given as,

from the properties of parallelogram we know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel to each other and are equal in measure.

therefore, the length of the side ij must be equal to the length of the side hk and that is .

hence, the expression for the length of ij confirms that hijk is a parallelogram.

8.75

how-to:

first, we need to find what we have to work with.

since i know that we have 7 (years) and 0.8 (inches), we can use these to solve and find the equation!

secondly, what you want to do, is see that we need to know how much growth out of the 0.8 inches he got in only 1 year, instead of 7 years.

let's try to divide.

7 ÷ 0.8 = 8.75
