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

How many cubic centimeters is 5 cubic meters.
tresset_1 [31]
The key to solving this question is first knowing how many cubic cm are in one cubic m:

The ratio is always 1000000 cubic cm in 1 cubic meter.

Knowing this, we calculate how many cubic cm are in 5 cubic meters!

<u>1000000 cubic cm </u>= <u>1 </u><span><u>cubic m</u>
      x </span>cubic cm           5 cubic m

x = 1000000 cubic cm x 5 cubic m ÷ 1 cubic m
x = 5<span>000000 cubic cm

Hope this helps!

Alex777 [14]
Hello! In order to understand this question, we need to take a look at the content that is involved.

Lupita pays $40.03 in total. Meaning that's where we are going to start if we want to find out how many miles her ride was. Since the taxi charges a flat rate of $6.75. We would want to subtract it from her total value because we only work with that flat rate once. Which ends up giving us $33.28. From there, we don't need to worry about the flat rate anymore and we now focus on the mileage. If it costs $3.20 per mile, then we can simply divide the amount after to flat rate by the cost per mile, to figure out how many miles she has gone. In the end, you will get 10.4 miles.
