Answer:

11.4

20/100 = x/57

Step-by-step explanation:

It is perhaps simplest just to translate the given English sentence into a mathematical sentence.

... 20% ... ... of ... 57 ... is ... what number

... 20/100 ... × ... 57 .... = ... what number . . . . . . . . translation to math sentence

... 11.4 = what number . . . . . . . . carry out the multiplication

_____

If you're asked to write this as a proportion, you can write it like this:

\dfrac{20}{100}=\dfrac{\text{what number}}{57}

You can solve this proportion by multiplying by 57 (the denominator under "what number"). Doing so gives you the same arithmetic sentence as shown above.

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have:

Sack\ 1: B, W

Sack\ 2: G, Y

Sack\ 3: S, R

Required

The tree diagram

The selection process is as follows:

Sack\ 1: B, W

Sack\ 1\ and\ Sack\ 2: B (G,Y); W(G,Y) -- i.e. we write sack 2 as a subset of 1

Sack\ 1, 2\ and\ 3: B (G(S,R),Y(S,R)); W(G(S,R),Y(S,R)) -- i.e. we write sack 3 as a subset of 2

<em>The only tree diagram that illustrates this is: option D</em>
