Pat, nick, carlos, joe, and tina are working late on the student yearbook and decide to order sandwiches. because the deli does not deliver, one of them will have to pick up their order. they decide to draw straws, and whoever gets the shortest straw will go to the deli.
a. if there is one straw per person, what is the theoretical probability (as a decimal) that pat will have to get the food?
b. what equation did you use to determine this answer?
c. show your work or explain in words how you determined your answer.
me!

1)1/5

2) events that are possible/total# of events

since there are 5 people and only one of them has to go to the deli the answer 1/5 represents 1 person out of 5 people.

plz vote my answer the brainiest, i really need it! thanks!

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°
