Well, there is 10 marbles in total and there is 2 black marbles. So, you get 2/10 but you need to simplify it and then you get 1/5.

Answer:  0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of black marbles in the bag = 2

The total number of marbles in the bag = 3+2+5=10

Then , if one marble is drawn from  the bag ,the probability of picking a black marble will be :-

\text{P(Black)}=\dfrac{\text{Number of black marbles}}{\text{Total marbles}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{P(Black)}=\dfrac{2}{10}=0.2

Therefore, the the probability of picking a black marble =0.2

The ratio of the corresponding side lengths of two similar posters is 7 in:20 in. What is the ratio of the perimeters?
gregori [183]
The ratio of their perimeters is still 7:20. The poster is a rectangle shape. If the length of each side of a poster is proportional to the other by a certain ratio, the sum of the lengths of all sides is also proportional by the same ratio. You can suppose the lengths of four sides of poster A are 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, so poster B has 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d. (7a+7b+7c+7d)/(20a+20b+20c+20d)=7(a+b+c+d)/20(a+b+c+d)=7/20.

Which equation results from isolating a radical term and squaring both sides of the equation for the equation ?
Bezzdna [24]
We can solve for the equivalent expression of the given expression:
√(x+6) + √x = 8
First, we need to square both sides such as shown below:
((√x+6) + (√x) =8)²
(x+6) + x = 64
Perform transposition and combine similar terms
x + 6 + x =64
2x = 64 -6
x = 29
