Answer:
Note that
0.16666...is equivalent to 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the sum of fractions to write out the decimal:
For this particular question, we can see that
0.16666...is the fraction 1/6, therefore
the given decimal
2.16666...=2+1/6=13/6
Step-by-step explanation:
5x = 19 - 4
5x = 15
x = 15/ 5
= 3

Answer:
6.3 km.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for kilometers, so all amounts have to be calculated in the same units -- kilometers.
Convert meters to kilometers.
600 m = .6 km
700 m = .7 km.
Add the amounts:
Fri.: .6 km
Sat. 3 km
Sun.: 2.7 km.
--------------------------------
6.3 km.
1) Our marbles will be blue, red, and green. You need two fractions that can be multiplied together to make 1/6. There are two sets of numbers that can be multiplied to make 6: 1 and 6, and 2 and 3. If you give the marbles a 1/1 chance of being picked, then there's no way that a 1/6 chance can be present So we need to use a 1/3 and a 1/2 chance. 2 isn't a factor of 6, but 3 is. So we need the 1/3 chance to become apparent first. Therefore, 3 of the marbles will need to be one colour, to make a 1/3 chance of picking them out of the 9. So let's say 3 of the marbles are green. So now you have 8 marbles left, and you need a 1/2 chance of picking another colour. 8/2 = 4, so 4 of the marbles must be another colour, to make a 1/2 chance of picking them. So let's say 4 of the marbles are blue. We know 3 are green and 4 are blue, 3 + 4 is 7, so the last 2 must be red.
The problem could look like this:
A bag contains 4 blue marbles, 2 red marbles, and 3 green marbles. What are the chances she will pick 1 blue and 1 green marble?
You should note that picking the blue first, then the green, will make no difference to the overall probability, it's still 1/6. Don't worry, I checked
2) a - 2% as a probability is 2/100, or 1/50. The chance of two pudding cups, as the two aren't related, both being defective in the same packet are therefore 1/50 * 1/50, or 1/2500.
b - 1,000,000/2500 = 400
400 packages are defective each year
