Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total 'halwa' made = 1

Divided into four equal portion = 1/4

Arrival of an unexpected guest = 1/5

By what percentage has each family member's share been reduced:

Change in the sharing proportion:

Previous share ratio - new sharing ratio

(1/4 - 1/5) = (5 - 4) / 20 = 1/20

That means total reduction in the sharing = 1/ 20

Since each member comes contributed equally:

Reduction in each family member's share ;

(1 / 20) ÷ 4

(1 / 20) * 1/4 = 1/ 80

Percentage reduction:

(Reduction / original share) * 100%

[(1/80) ÷ (1/4)] * 100

(1/80 * 4/1) * 100%

(1/20) * 100%

= 5%

Reduction in each family members share = 5%

kogti [31]

Answer: Probability P = 1/1716

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition

For permutation ( order is important)

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

Given;

Total number of members in the committee = 13

Total number of members to be selected = 3

Since order is important in this case.

The total number (Tt) of possible ways of selecting three executives from the committee members is given as

Tt = 13P3 (since order is important)

Tt = 13!/(13-3)!

Tt = 13!/10!

Tt = 1716

The probability P of randomly selecting the three members who currently hold the positions of chairman, ranking member, and treasurer and reassigning them to their current​ positions is equal to

P = number of favourable outcomes/ number of possible outcomes

Number of favourable outcomes = 1 (i.e 1×1×1 = 1) one option for each post.

Number of possible outcomes = Tt = 1716

P = 1/1716

The perimeter of a rectangular pool is 314 m.
ycow [4]

Answer:

The length is 91 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter formula is 2W · 2L = 314

We know the width is 66 m, so we can then say:

132 · 2L = 314

-132          -132

2L = 182

L = 91

Hope this helped!
