Answer:
4/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Bag A
3 red marbles and 6 blue marbles. = 9 marbles
P(blue) = blue/total =6/9 = 2/3
Bag B
6 green marbles and 4 yellow marbles. = 10 marbles
P(yellow) = yellow/total=4/10 = 2/5
P(blue,yellow) = 2/3 * 2/5 = 4/15
You work it backwards.
-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.
-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself.
So he started with (16 + 2) = <em>18 pieces</em>.
Answer: 1 1/4feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the depth of the water in the pool changes by −3/4 foot every hour and that the depth of the water was 5 feet when she started draining.
The depth of the water after 5 hours will be:
= 5 - 3/4(5)
= 5 - 15/4
= 5 - 3 3/4
= 1 1/4 feet
