There are 10 chips altogether. 4 of them are white.
4/10 is the chance of lifting out a white chip
There are 3 of them left and 9 chips altogehter.
4/10 * 3/9
12/90
4/30
2/15

Comment
(my edit) it is not that 2/15 is wrong (although it is not entirely right).
1/3 is the correct answer if you assume that what happened during the first draw has nothing to do with what will happen on the second. It is like saying if you throw 11 heads in a row with a fair coin, what are the chances of throwing a heads on the 12th throw? The answer is 1/2. That is the same kind of question you have asked.

The two of us who have responded have really responded to what are the chances of drawing 2 white chips. The question really does not restrict us in a way that prevents us from saying that. I'll stick with
B <<<< answer
but I think it would be nice if the writer of the question made it clear that 1/3 should be the proper answer. I am glad you came back and posted the right answer. It makes me think. 

The semi right answer is B <<<<---- 

If my reasoning bothers anybody, I'll reedit again. I'm only leaving it because sometimes a mistake is more instructive than a given answer.

Answer is 2/15

There are initially <span>4+6=10</span> chips in the bag, so the probability of the first chip drawn being white is:

<span><span>4/10</span>=<span>2/5</span></span>

Having drawn a white chip there are then 3 white chips left in the bag out of a total <span>3+6=9</span> chips. So the probability of the second chip also being white is:

<span><span>3/9</span>=<span>1/3</span></span>

So the probability of drawing two white chips is:

<span><span>2/5x</span><span>1/3</span>=<span><span>2/15</span></span></span>

(ASAP PICTURE ADDED) What is the simplified form of the following expression?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

option c is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

7\left(\sqrt[3]{2x}\right)-3\left(\sqrt[3]{16x}\right)-3\left(\sqrt[3]{8x}\right)

WE need to simplify this equation.

Solve the parenthesis of each term.

=7\left\sqrt[3]{2x}\right-3\left\sqrt[3]{16x}\right-3\left\sqrt[3]{8x}\right

Now, We will find factors of the terms inside the square root

factors of 2: 2

factors of 16 : 2x2x2x2

factors of 8: 2x2x2

Putting these values in our equation:=7\left(\sqrt[3]{2x}\right)-3\left(\sqrt[3]{2X2X2X2 x}\right)-3\left(\sqrt[3]{2X2X2 x}\right)\\=7\left(\sqrt[3]{2x}\right)-3\left(\sqrt[3]{2X2X2} \sqrt[3] {2 x}\right)-3\left(\sqrt[3]{2X2X2} \sqrt[3]{x}\right)\\=7\left(\sqrt[3]{2x}\right)-3\left(\sqrt[3]{2^3} \sqrt[3] {2 x}\right)-3\left(\sqrt[3]{2^3} \sqrt[3]{x}\right)\\=7\left(\sqrt[3]{2x}\right)-3*2\left(\sqrt[3] {2 x}\right)-3*2\left(\sqrt[3]{x}\right)\\=7\left(\sqrt[3]{2}\sqrt[3]{x}\right)-6\left(\sqrt[3] {2}\sqrt[3]{x})-6\left(\sqrt[3]{x}\right)

Adding like terms we get:

=7\left(\sqrt[3]{2}\sqrt[3]{x}\right)-6\left(\sqrt[3] {2}\sqrt[3]{x})-6\left(\sqrt[3]{x}\right\\=(\sqrt[3] {2}\sqrt[3]{x})-6\left(\sqrt[3]{x}\right)\\

(\sqrt[3] {2}\sqrt[3]{x})-6\left(\sqrt[3]{x}\right)\\can\,\,be \,\, written\,\, as\,\,\\(\sqrt[3] {2x})-6\left(\sqrt[3]{x}\right)

So, option c is correct

A sample of any given pure element is composed only of the atoms characteristic of that element, and the atoms of each element are unique. For example, the atoms that constitute carbon are different from those that make up iron, which are in turn different from those of gold. Every element is designated by a unique symbol consisting of one, two, or three letters arising from either the current element name or its original (often Latin) name. For example, the symbols for carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are simply C, H, and O, respectively. The symbol for iron is Fe, from its original Latin name ferrum. The fundamental principle of the science of chemistry is that the atoms of different elements can combine with one another to form chemical compounds. Methane, for example, which is formed from the elements carbon and hydrogen in the ratio four hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom, is known to contain distinct CH4 molecules. The formula of a compound—such as CH4—indicates the types of atoms present, with subscripts representing the relative numbers of atoms (although the numeral 1 is never written).<span /></span></span><span><span>
