Using the probability concept, it is found that since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be \dfrac{7}{10}

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

In this problem:

  • In total, there are 8 + n sweets in the bag.
  • Of those, n are red.

The probability of red is:

p=\dfrac{n}{n+8}

Supposing, we solve for n:

\dfrac{n}{n+8} = \dfrac{7}{10}

10n = 7n + 56

3n = 56

n  =  56 / 3

n  =  18.67

Since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be 7 / 10

of = multiplication 
is means = 
We now write it in math terms: 
x times 40 = 25 

40x = 25 
Divide both sides by 40 to find x. 
x = 25/40 
x = 0.625

Mell is twice as old as Jerry. If 16 is subtracted from Mell’s age and 16 is added to Jerry’s age, their ages will be equal. Wha
irga5000 [103]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let J = Jerry's age

Let M = Mary's age = 2J

 

M - 16 = J + 16

 

Substitute 2J for Mary's age

 

2J - 16 = J + 16

2J - J - 16 = 16

J = 16 + 16

J = 32

 

Jerry is 32.

Mary is twice as old as Jerry.

Mary is 2(32) = 64
