You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
Answer:A. The theoretical probability for pink is 95/185 or about 51.35%
B. The theoretical probability for brown is 90/185 or about 47.82%.
C. To find the experimental probability, we will make another fraction. The number of outcomes will be the numerator and the total will be the denominator.
Pink 36/69 = 52.17%
Brown 33/69 = 47.82%
