Answer:
Manuel received 28 purple pins.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple equation. If he received 40 pounds and 70% of them are purple then the number of purple pins is 40 * 70% = 28.
So basically, you subtract (2677-285 = 2392) then you divide by 2 (2392/2=1196) so Ricky has 1196 and Pedro has 1481
Answer:
Answer choice C
Step-by-step explanation:
Similarly to the previous problem, there are two possibilities. In the first possibility, the chance of picking a digit lower than 7 is 6/9 or 2/3, because there are 6 digits below 7 and 9 digits in total. In this scenario, the probability of the second digit being below 7 is 5/8, since one of the digits has already been taken. The probability here is 5/8*6/9=5/12. In the other scenario, the probability of picking a number higher than 7 is 3/9 or 1/3. In this scenario, the probability of picking below 7 for the second digit is 6/8 or 3/4, because one of the digits has not been taken. 3/9*6/8= 1/4. Adding these two together, you get 8/12=2/3, or answer choice C. Hope this helps!
