Answer:
3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To have the best chance of pulling a pair with the same color you should try to get a pair of black socks. There is a 3/5 chance of pulling a black sock so this means for every 5 socks you pull you get 3 black socks or 2 navy socks. Either way you will get a pair of socks with the same color. (Double check to make sure I'm correct)
The share of Natasha is £ 42
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
£70 is divided between Natasha, Richard & Stephen
Total amount = 70
Let the share of natasha be "x"
Let the share of richard be "y"
Let the share of stephen be "z"
Natasha gets twice as much as Richard
x = 2y ------ eqn 1
Richard gets three times as much as Stephen
y = 3z
----- eqn 2
Total amount = 70
share of natasha + share of richard + share of stephen = 70
x + y + z = 70
Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2

Substitute y = 21 in eqn 1
x = 2y = 2(21) = 42
x = 42
Thus natasha gets £ 42
Recall that the slope is the "average rate of change" of any function.

We have equation:
t=20x+31
x is number of years after 1997.
To calculate number of laptops in 2005:
x=2005-1997
x=8
t=20*8+31
t=160+31
t=191
In year 2005 school had 191 laptops.
