Seven less than the product of 8 and a number equals 4

11/8 or 1 3/8 or 1.375

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given by the question, we can form an equation:

Let us call the number 'n'

8 × n - 7 = 4

We then move the 7 to the other side, changing it from minus to plus:

8 × n = 4 + 7

So,

8 × n = 11

We divide both sides by 8, to leave n on one side of the equation.

n = 11/8

Therefore, n = 11/8 or 1 3/8 or 1.375

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
