You- y=50+20x
friend y=30+20x
If you subtract, the difference is only 20 dollars at any given months since the rates are the same
Set it up as a ratio:
mans shadow over mans height (4/6 ) equals flag pole shadow over flag pole height (15/x)
set them to equal each other:
4/6 = 15/x
cross multiply: 4*x =4x, 15*6 = 90
so you have 4x = 90
now divide both sides by 5 to solve for x, which is the height of the flag pole:
x = 90 / 4 = 22.5 feet tall
The total number of fish available in the tank is (18 + 22) = 40. We want to randomly select 2 fish and come up with 2 goldfish. The probability for 1 goldfish to be taken out would be 18/40.
Now, after drawing the first fish, the probability to get another goldfish would be 17/39. And the probability to draw 2 goldfish would be the product of both probabilities.
P = (18/40)(17/39) = 51/260
Thus, the answer is <span>B.</span>
