Answer:

<em>It takes them 1.875 hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em></em>

<em>Here, the job is cleaning the house.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Mom does 1 job in 3 hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>In 1 hour, mom does 1/3 of the job.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Dad does 1 job in 5 hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>In 1 hour, dad does 1/5 of the job.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Mom and dad working together do the job in x hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>In 1 hour, mom and dad together do 1/x of the job.</em>

<em></em>

<em>1/3 + 1/5 = 1/x</em>

<em></em>

<em>5/15 + 3/15 = 1/x</em>

<em></em>

<em>8/15 = 1/x</em>

<em></em>

<em>8x = 15</em>

<em></em>

<em>x = 15/8 = 1.875</em>

<em></em>

<em>Answer: It takes them 1.875 hours.</em>

In the wheel of woohoo game I'm taking a chance on a spinner with 20 outcomes if it lands on an even number I'll win a prize How
Aloiza [94]

Answer:  The chance here to win is 50%.


Step-by-step explanation:   You are taking a chance on a spinner with 20 outcomes. So, we will be considering natural numbers from 1 to 20.

And also, you will a prize if you land on an even number, so we will calculate the probability of getting an even number.

From 1 to 20, there are 10 odd numbers and 10 even numbers out of total 20 numbers.

Let us define the following events -

A = event of getting an even number

and

B = event of getting an odd number.

So, n(A) = 10  and  n(B) = 10.

So, the probability of getting an even number is given by

p(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(A)+n(B)}=\dfrac{10}{10+10}=\dfrac{10}{20}=0.5=50\%.

Thus, the required chance of winning a prize is 50%.
