Answer:

About 41.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given:</em>

<em>A bowl has 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes. Henry randomly chooses a grape, eats it, and then chooses another grape. </em>

<em>To Find:</em>

<em>What is the probability that both grapes are red?</em>

<em>Answer choices:</em>

<em>about 39.7% </em>

<em>about 41.5%</em>

<em> about 42.5% </em>

<em>about 44.5%</em>

<em>Solution:</em>

<em>Since, there are 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes, the total number of grapes is 23 . </em>

<em>As the red grapes are 15.. </em>

<em>Thus, </em>

<em>The probability of choosing a red grape the first time is 15/23.</em>

<em>Because out of the total 23 grapes only 15 were red grape.</em>

<em> The probability of choosing the red grape the second time will be 14/22. Because the number of red grapes has already decreased by one and so is the total number of grapes after first choice</em>

<em>Hence, the probability of choosing or eating two red grapes will be :</em>

<em>15/23×14/22 </em>

<em>=105/253 </em>

<em>=0.415</em>

<em>= 41.5% </em>

<em>Therefore, the probability that both grapes are red is about 41.5%</em>

<span>Answer: The multiplication factor of increase should be inverse of the multiplication factor of decrease.

    e.g. Say you have a number 100. You increase it by 25%. The multiplication factor is 5/4 i.e. when you multiply 100 by 5/4, you get 100*5/4 = 125. This is 25% more than 100. Now you want to decrease it by a certain % such that you get 100 back. Basically, 100*5/4 * x = 100 So x = 4/5 (inverse of 5/4) Hence, you decrease by 20% (the multiplication factor of 20% is 4/5) or Use this formula: cumulative % change = a + b + ab/100 You want the cumulative change to be 0. a + b + ab/100 = 0 If you know that you are increasing by 25% and want to find the % by which you should decrease to get the same number, 25 + b + 25b/100 = 0 5b/4 = -25 b = -20 So you need to decrease (hence you get the -ve sign) by 20%.</span>

A person riding in a elevator travels 240 feet in 30 seconds. What equation represents this relationship? How many feet will the
frosja888 [35]
The answer to this question is letter C

We can approach this by first finding the rate of feet per second traveled.

240(feet)/30(seconds)= 8 feet per second.

This answer resembles the slope for answer choice C.

To find the distance traveled in 10 seconds we do 10*8= 80 feet.

I hope this helps, please like and brainliest if correct, thank you!
