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>

Carrie is buying bulk candy for a high school fundraiser. She buys 1000 candy bars for $350. What is the unit cost per candy bar
liubo4ka [24]
1000 candy bars ... $350
1 candy bar ... $x = ?

If you would like to know what is the unit cost per candy bar, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1000 * x = 350 * 1
1000 * x = 350    /1000
x = 350 / 1000
x = $0.35

Result: She can buy 1 candy bar for $0.35, so the correct result would be B) $.35.

Bill has two fat cats. He feeds each cat 150 grams of dry food each, twice a day. If he buys a 5 kilogram bag of dry food, about
Alinara [238K]

Answer: 4 days (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

One cat = 150*2 = 300g

Two cats = 600g

600*2 = 1200 (this is the total amount of food they both eat in a day)

5kg = 5000g

1200g/5000g = 4.17

The bag will last 4 days.
