Answer:

9/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Captain Jessica shoots first.  This means her ship has not already been hit, which means she has a 2/5 chance of hitting the pirate ship.  This also means she has a 1-2/5 = 3/5 chance of missing the pirate ship.

Since Captain Jessica misses, dread pirate Ishaan has a 3/8 chance of hitting the captain's ship.  This means he has a

3/5(3/8) = 9/40 chance of the captain missing the pirate and the pirate hitting the captain.

144kg in the ratio of 9:8:7​
ANEK [815]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

Ratio = 9:8:7

Let "x" be the common factor. So,

9x+8x+7x = 144

or, 24x = 144

or, x = 144/24

or, x= 6

It's like;

= 9*6:8*6:7*6

= 54:48:42

Therefore, their ratio is 54:48:42.
