Answer:

111 / 190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first compute the probability of picking 2 of each sweet. Take liquorice as the first example. There are 12 / 20 liquorice now, but after picking 1 there will be 11 / 19 left. Thus the probability of getting two liquorice is demonstrated below;

12 / 20 * 11 / 19 = \frac{33}{95},\\Probability of Drawing 2 Liquorice = \frac{33}{95}

Apply this same concept to each of the other sweets;

5 / 20 * 4 / 19 = \frac{1}{19},\\Probability of Drawing 2 Mint Sweets = 1 / 19\\\\3 / 20 * 2 / 19 = \frac{3}{190},\\Probability of Drawing 2 Humbugs = 3 / 190

Now add these probabilities together to work out the probability of drawing 2 of the same sweets, and subtract this from 1 to get the probability of not drawing 2 of the same sweets;

33 / 95 + 1 / 19 + 3 / 190 = \frac{79}{190},\\1 - \frac{79}{190} = \frac{111}{190}\\\\

The probability that the two sweets will not be the same type of sweet =

111 / 190

I hope this helps you


Brandon x


Michael 3x


18 years ago


Brandon x-18


Michael 3x-18


9 (x-18)=3x-18


9x-9.18=3x-18

9x-3x=9.18-18

6x=8.18

x=8.3

Which of the following is the solution to | x | +5< 1?
marissa [1.9K]

C. No Solution

<u>Explanation</u>

<u></u>

The above equation has no solution as the value of x is always mod x which means the value is always positive. Hence to make the equation true, we need value of mod x less than -4 which is not possible. Hence this equation as no solution.

|x| + 5< 1\\|x| + 5 -1 < 0\\|x| +4 < 0\\|x| < -4

Since, |x| can never be < -4 because value of |x| is always greater than or equal to, Hence this equation has no solution.

On Friday Merinda uses 1/4 of the box of pancake mix to make pancakes. On Saturday she uses 1 1/2 times as much pancake mix as F
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

3/8 of the box

Step-by-step explanation:

On Friday Merinda uses 1/4 of the box of pancake mix to make pancakes.

On Saturday she uses 1 1/2 times as much pancake mix as Friday.

On Friday = 1/4 of the box

On Saturday = 1 1/2 × pancake mix as Friday

\dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{8}

Hence, 3/8 of the box of pancake mix does Merinda use on Saturday.
