Reduce all of the mutiple choices
A. 4/3 . It is greater than 3/4. 4/3 as a decimal is 1.333. 3/4= 0.75
B. 12/12. 12/12=1. 1 is greater than 3/4
C. 9/16. Cannot reduce the fraction.
D. 12/16 divide by 4 for the numerator and denominator. 12/4=3 , 16/4= 4
Answer: D. 12/16
The anwser to your problem is 1,800
Yes it can actually. If you take 1/2 and 1/2 for example, their product is 1/4.
Let
b---> the original amount of blue balls in the bag
p---> the original amount of pink balls in the bag
we know that
b=8+p
p=5
so
b=8+5----> b=13
step 1
Find the total of balls originally in the bag
total =13+5-----> 18
step 2
find <span>the probability that a person will pick a blue ball first
</span>Find P(b)
P (b)=13/18
step 3
Find the probability that a person will pick a pink ball second <span>without replacement
the total of balls now is (18-1)-------> 17
P(p)=5/17
step 4
Find </span><span>the probability that a person will pick a blue ball first and then a pink ball without replacement
</span>(13/18)*(5/17)-----> (13*5)/(18*17)------> 65/306-----> 0.21
the answer is
0.21
No, 0.5 = 9/18.
9/18 can be simplified to 1/2, which is 0.5
Hope this helped! :)
