This is an example of conditional probability because we are trying to find the probability of an event occurring GIVEN the occurrence of some other event. There is a formula for this (see image attached).
If we follow this formula, the numerator would be the probability of (A AND B) which in this case is "48% of the class passed BOTH exams." The denominator in the formula would be that "60% of the class passed ONLY THE SECOND exam."
Therefore, P(A and B) = 0.48, which is 48% expressed as a decimal and P(B)= 0.60, which is 60% expressed as a decimal. Then, you can figure out the answer by dividing.
Yes here multiply takes place not divide

6-2x=2(15-x)
distribute
6-2x=30-2x
add 2x to both sides
6=30

A is answer
Answer: 104.5 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply proportions:
Six students eat 6 apples in 33 seconds.
The proportion is: number of apples eaten /time
6 apples /33 seconds = 6/33
For 19 apples:
19 apples / x seconds =19/x
6/33 = 19/x
Solving for x:
x = 19 / ( 6/33)
x = 104.5 seconds
