Given:

Dimensions are 7 ft by 5 ft by 8.5 ft

Contents weigh 0.21 pound

Contents worth $8.80 per pound

Find-: value of container contents.

Sol:

Volume is:

\begin{gathered} Volume\text{ = }7\times5\times8.5 \\  \\ =297.5 \end{gathered}

The formula of density is:

\text{ Density =}\frac{\text{  Mass}}{\text{ Volume}}

So,

\begin{gathered} 0.21=\frac{\text{ Weight  of contents in container}}{\text{ Volume of container}} \\  \\ 0.21=\frac{\text{ Weight}}{297.5} \\  \\ 0.21\times297.5=\text{ Weight} \\  \\ \text{ Weight of contents in container = }62.475\text{ Pound} \end{gathered}

Now $8.80 per pound

For 62.475 pounds the value is:

\begin{gathered} =62.475\times8.80 \\  \\ =549.78 \end{gathered}

So the value of the container contents is 549.78

2: A bag contains 5 black counters, 4 blue counters, and
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The probability that the counter  was blue is \mathbf{\frac{2}{5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of black Counters = 5

Number of blue Counters = 4

Number of white Counters = 1

We need to write down the probability that the counter  was blue.​

First find Total Counters

Total Counters = Number of black Counters + Number of blue Counters + Number of white Counters

Total Counters = 5+4+1

Total Counters = 10

Now, we need to find probability that the counter taken was blue

The formula used is:

Probability= \frac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:outcomes}

There are 4 blue counters in the back, so Favourable outcomes = 4

Probability= \frac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:outcomes}\\Probability= \frac{4}{10}\\Probability= \frac{2}{5}

The probability that the counter  was blue is \mathbf{\frac{2}{5}}
