Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio of 3:4 means that red counters make up 3/7 of the sum of red and blue counters and blue counters make up 4/7 of the total sum of red and blue counters.

If there is 20 blue counters, then 20 is 4/7 of the sum of the total red and blue counters.

So we need to solve for the total sum.

\frac{4}{7} x = 20

4x = 140

x = 35

So the total amount of red and blue counters are 35,

So this means the amount of red counters is 15.

The amount of yellow counters is 25.

So the total number of counters are 60.

So P(Yellow counters)= 25/60= 5/12

Which possibly forms a triangle
svp [43]

Answer:

C. 17, 12, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater then the length of the third side. If you can show any two segments, the sum of whose lengths is less than the length of the third segment, that cannot form a triangle.

In choices A, B, and D, there is at least one sum of the lengths of two segments that is less then the length of the third segment. That shows that choices A, B, and D cannot form triangles.

A. 8 + 7 = 15 < 16 No

B. 9 + 7 = 16 = 16 No

D. 11 + 5 = 16 < 17 No

C.

17 + 12 = 29 > 7

12 + 7 = 19 > 17

17 + 7 = 24 > 12

Yes
