Short Answer 0.8

Remark
The total number of possible draws is
3 Blue + 2 Red + 5 silver = 10
There are two ways of solving this, both of which will be used later on.

Method 1
If you don't draw a read paper clip, that means you will draw a silver or blue paper clip.
\frac{Silver + blue}{10} =  \frac{3 + 5}{10} =  \frac{8}{10} = \text{0.8}

Method Two
The other way is to draw a red one and take that probability away from 1. 
P(red) = \frac{2}{10} = \text{0.2}
1 - 0.2 = 0.8 Same answer.

Margaret’s bottle of shampoo is 7/8 full. She uses 1/3 of the shampoo in the bottle to wash the dog. Estimate what fraction of s
AleksandrR [38]

Fraction of shampoo left = \frac{13}{24}

Solution:

Given fraction of full shampoo  =\frac{7}{8}.

Fraction of shampoo Margaret used  =\frac{1}{3}

Fraction of shampoo left = Full shampoo – fraction of shampoo used

                                          =\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{3}

To make the denominators same do cross multiplication.

                                          =\frac{7\times3}{8\times3}-\frac{1\times8}{3\times8}

                                          =\frac{21}{24}-\frac{8}{24}

                                          =\frac{21-8}{24}

                                          =\frac{13}{24}

Hence \frac{13}{24} of the shampoo bottle is left.
