To solve this problem, we can divide 165 people by 15 to start to find out how many cars there will be for 165 people. This is because this is a proportion. 165 divided by 15 is 11. Since 165:15 = 11, that means that C:3 = 11 too (with C being the number of cars for 165 people). If C:3 = 11, we can multiply each side by 3 to figure out the C is equal to 33 (we multiply by 3 to get rid of the denominator, since the : sign means to divide). That means that 33 cars will be needed for 165 people.

Britany has a bag with 2 mint sticks, 4 jelly treats, and 14 fruit tart chews. If she eats one piece every 9 minutes, what is th
zheka24 [161]
That "9 minutes" doesn't affect the outcome!

How many pieces of candy are in the bag at the beginning?  How many of those are "fruit tart chews?"  Write a fraction involving these 2 counts.  Remember that Britany immediately eats what she draws from the bag, so the 2nd time around, there are only 19 pieces, not 20.  What is the prob. that she will pick a jelly treat on her second draw?
Because these experiments are independent, you can find the joint probability by multiplying the 2 probabilities together.  Please show your work.
