Multiply the two desired probabilities to find the answer.

5/12 is the probability for the plain pencil since there are 5 pencils out of 12 total items.

1/2 is the probability for the colored pencil since there are 3 colored pencils out of 6 total items. 3/6 simplifies to 1/2.

5/12*1/2= 5/24

Final answer: 5/24

Carla wants the total weight of the bags to be four pounds. If she can only pick one more bag, which bag weight should she pick?
pychu [463]

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which bag weight Carla needs, the first step is to find the total weight of the bags shown in the line plot.

There are three -pound bags.

There are six -pound bags.

There are four -pound bags.

Multiply the weight and number of each bag to find the total weight of each different weight bag.

Now, add the three totals.

Finally, subtract the total weight from four pounds in order to find which weight Carla needs.

So, Carla should pick one -pound bag of candy to total four pounds.
