Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that three pairs of gloves- a red pair, a blue pair, and a green pair-are in a drawer.  The gloves are removed at random without returning any to the drawer.

We have to find the minimum number that must be removed in order to guarantee having a matched pair of gloves

No of different colours = 3 (red, blue, green)

Hence no of gloves that must be removed = 3+1

If 4 gloves are removed, only 3 can be of different colours 1 will have same colour as any one of the three.

So a pair of same colour would be obtained

Answer is 4

<h3>Let the number be x</h3>

x:11 =  \frac{1}{3} :6

  • Divide the numbers

\frac{x}{11}  =  \frac{ \frac{1}{3} }{6}  \\  \frac{x}{11}  =  \frac{1}{18}

  • Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

11 \times  \frac{x}{11}  = 11 \times  \frac{1}{18}

  • Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

x = 11 \times  \frac{1}{18}

  • Multiply the numbers

x =  \frac{11}{18}

Solve the system by substitution 3x+y=-16 and y=-x-4
kap26 [50]

Solution,

y = -x-4......(i)

3x + y =- 16.......(ii)

Now,

Substituting the value of y in equation (ii)

or, 3x + (-x-4)= -16

or,3x - x - 4 = -16

or, 2x= -16 +4

or, x = -12/2

: x = -6

Then,

Substituting the value of x in (i) equation;

or,y= -(-6) - 4

or,y= 6 - 4

: y =2
