Answer:

18/95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

2 mint sticks,

9 jelly treats, and

9 fruit tart chews.

Sample space = {2+9+9} = 20

N/B this is done without replacement since the candy are eaten Hence after each selection the candy and the sample size reduces

1.The probability of eating the first jelly treat = 9/20

2.The probability of eating the first jelly treat = 8/19

Hence the probability of her first two pieces will both

be jelly i= 9/20*8/19= 72/380

= 18/95

Answer:

18.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case what we must do is calculate the probability of eating a jelly treats first and then another jelly treats, being the final probability the multiplication of these events.

We know that there are 20 in total and that initially there are 9 jelly treats, so the first event is the probability:

9/20  

And the second event, with one less in each, would be:

8/19

The final probability then:

9/20 * 8/19 = 0.1895

So the probability of this happening is 18.95%

5 + {2[(48 – 40) ÷ 4 + (2 x 5)]}
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

29.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

5+2[(48-40)\div 4+(2\times 5)]

BODMAS = Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.

Using BODMAS, we get

5+2[(8)\div 4+(10)]         (Brackets)

5+2[2+10]                  (Division)

5+2[12]               (Brackets)

5+24                 (Multiplication)

29           (Addition)

Therefore, the value of given expression is 29.
