A silverware drawer contains 9 forks, 12 spoons, and 7 knives. One piece of silverware is selected at random from the drawer. What is the probability that a spoon is selected?

Enter your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredth in the box.

9/34

Step-by-step

6/18*(6/17)*(6/16)*3! = 9/34

The answer is 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

First we add all the item counts

9 + 12 + 7 = 28

then we divide the number of spoons by 28

12/28 = 0.42

Hope this helps :)

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
