Answer:

31.5 or 63/2

Step-by-step explanation:

to do this, first you need to transform the mixed number (3 1/2) into an improper fraction, to get 7/2.

then you just multiply 9 by 7/2

9/1 (7/2)

63/2 = 31.5

both of the answers in bold are correct

A bag contains 6 red apples and 5 yellow apples. 3 apples are selected at random. Find the probability of selecting 1 red apple

tester [92]

Answer: The required probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples is 36.36%.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given that a bag contains 6 red apples and 5 yellow apples out of which 3 apples are selected at random.

We are to find the probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples.

Let S denote the sample space for selecting 3 apples from the bag and let A denote the event of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples.

Then, we have

$n(S)=^{6+5}C_3=^{11}C_3=\dfrac{11!}{3!(11-3)!}=\dfrac{11\times10\times9\times8!}{3\times2\times1\times8!}=165,\\\\\\n(A)\\\\\\=^6C_1\times^5C_2\\\\\\=\dfrac{6!}{1!(6-1)!}\times\dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}\\\\\\=\dfrac{6\times5!}{1\times5!}\times\dfrac{5\times4\times3!}{2\times1\times3!}\\\\\\=6\times5\times2\\\\=60.$

Therefore, the probability of event A is given by

$P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{60}{165}=\dfrac{4}{11}\times100\%=36.36\%.$

Thus, the required probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples is 36.36%.

A pole, 90 cm long, is painted green, white, and black in the ration 3:4:2. What length of the pole is painted black?

ollegr [7]

3u + 4u + 2u = 9u
9u = 90
1u = 90/9 = 10

since black is 2u ( from the ratio given)
2u = 10 x 2 = 20

Answer : 20cm of the pole is painted black.
