Answer:
(a) 8 balls
(b) 4 balls
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of balls
For a box, the probability that there are N balls in it is:
For 2 boxes, it is:
From the question, we have:
Favorable outcome
To solve for N, we have:
Divide both sides by 2
Take log of both sides
Apply law of logarithm
Make N the subject
Approximate
Solving (b): Balls in one of the two boxes.
Here, we assume that each ball will have almost the same number of balls at a given instance;
Hence, we have:
<em>4 balls in each box</em>
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4÷1/2
1/4*2/1
2/4
1/2
Points to remember:if u change dividion sign into multiplication sign do it's reciprocal.
Subtract the blue caps:
25-11 = 14 caps are either white or green.
Let green = X
white = X +2
Green + white = 14:
x + x +2 = 14
Combine like terms:
2x +2 = 14
Subtract 2 from both sides:
2x = 12
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 6
There are 11 blue caps, 6 green caps and 8 white caps.
