Answer: (3-1)×(7+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are mainly several ways to get 24
- 2×12
- 3×8
- 4×6
- add all of them together
- complicated ones can include large numbers minus another large number
Use try-check-revise, to find the way that fits 24
For this question, we used 2×12, which results in (3-1)×(7+5)
Hope this helps!! :)

Given :
Ruth wants to buy a skateboard for $44.
She has $100 in her account. She spent $11.36 to buy stationary.
She also wants to buy some comic books for $3.72 each.
To Find :
The maximum number of comic books, n, that Ruth can buy so that she has enough money left to buy the skateboard.
Solution :
Money left after buying skateboard and stationary is :
Money left = $(100 - 11.36 - 44)
Money left = $44.64
Number of comic she can buy is :
Therefore, she can buy a maximum of 12 books.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
i) Probability that both candidates employed are women = 5/14
ii) Probability that the second candidate is a woman = 5/8
iii) Probability that the first candidate is a woman given that second one is a woman = 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the probability that a man is employed be P(M) = 3/8
Probability that a woman is employed P(W) = 5/8
a) Probability that both candidates employed are women = (5/8) × (4/7) = 5/14
b) Probability that the second candidate is a woman = (probability that first candidate is a man and second candidate is a woman) + (probability that first candidate is a woman & second candidate is a woman)
= (3/8)(5/7) + (5/8)(4/7) = (15/56) + (20/56) = 35/56 = 5/8
c) Probability that the first candidate is a woman given that second one is a woman
Given that the second candidate was a women, means that the first candidate-women was selected among other four women.
Probability = (4/8)/(5/8) = 4/5
