Answer:

5/11

Step-by-step explanation:

probability = # of favorable outcomes / # of total outcomes

favorable outcome = selecting a pair of formal shoes.

There are 5 pairs of formal shoes so # of favorable outcomes = 5

The total number of outcomes = sum of different pairs of shoes. There are  5 pairs of formal shoes, 2 pairs of traditional shoes, and 4 pairs of casual shoes, so total there are 5 + 2 + 4 = 11 pairs of shoes

so we have probability =  # of favorable outcomes / # of total outcomes

and # of favorable outcomes = 5 and total # of outcomes = 11 so probability of selecting a pair of formal shoes is 5/11

A jet plane can carry up to 200,000 liters of fuel. It used 130,000 liters of fuel during a flight. What percentage of the fuel
-Dominant- [34]

Given:

Capacity of jet plane = 200,000 liters of fuel

Fuel used during flight = 130,000 liters

To find:

The percentage of the fuel capacity it uses on this flight.

Solution:

According to the question, we need to find 130,000 is what percent of 200,000.

\text{Required percentage}=\dfrac{\text{Fuel used during flight}}{\text{Capacity of jet plane}}\times 100

\text{Required percentage}=\dfrac{130000}{200000}\times 100

\text{Required percentage}=65

Therefore, the jet plane uses 65 percent of fuel capacity during flight.
