No. Think of it as having 2 pies. The first pie is cut into 3 equal pieces, and the second pie into 5. Having more pieces means each piece is smaller. So 2/3 is way bigger than 1/5. Does that make sense? Let me know if you need any more help :)

A box has 11 marbles, 3 of which are white and 8 of which are red. A sample of 4 marbles are selected randomly from the box with
aliina [53]

14/99

Select 1 marble; the chance that it is white is 4/12. Select a 2nd marble; the chance that it is white is 3/11. Select a 3rd; the chance it is white is 2/10. Select a 4th; the chance it is red is 8/9. Select a 5th; the chance it is red is 7/8. The chance of getting this specific set of 5 marbles in this order is (4/12)×(3/11)×(2/10)×(8/9)×(7/8)=(2×7)/(11×10×9).

This specific set could occur in the permutation of 5 things taken 5 at a time where 3 are identical (white), and the other 2 are also identical (red). The formula for this is 5!/(3!2!)=10.

Combining the chance of getting white, white, white, red, red with the number of ways 3 white and 2 red could have been distributed in the draw of 5 marbles gives the answer:

{(2×7)/(11×10×9)}×10=14/99

A similar process will show that the chance of getting 5 red marbles is 7/99; 4 white and 1 red is 1/99; 2 white and 3 red is 42/99; and 1 white and 4 red is 35/99.

1.) Vivian combined different amounts of white paint, blue paint, and green paint to make 145 milliliters (ml) of paint of a new
Ivahew [28]
So here are the answers to the given questions above:
1. Since the equation is already given, what we are going to do is to solve for x first. 
<span>x + (2x – 10) + 1/2 (2x – 10) = 145
x + (2x -10) + x - 5 = 145
x + 2x + x - 10 - 5 = 145
4x = 145 +10 + 5
4x = 160 <<divide both sides by 4 and we get
x = 40.
Therefore, the amount of white paint is 40ml.
The amount of blue paint is 70ml and the green paint is 35ml.
So the difference between the a</span><span>mounts of white paint and blue paint Vivian combined is 30ml.
2. T</span>he equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, 1) and (1, 10) would be: <span>3x - y = -7, the last option. In order to check, just plug in the given ordered pairs.</span>

A boat sails on a bearing of 77 degrees for 135 miles and then turns and sails 207 miles on a bearing of 192 degrees. Find the d
Andrew [12]

Answer:

193.53 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the diagram for understanding of how the angles were derived,

Applying Alternate Angles, ABO =77 degrees

The bearing from B to C is 192=180+12 degrees

Subtracting 12 from 77, we obtain the angle at B as 65 degrees.

We want to determine the boat's distance from its starting point.

In the diagram, this is the line AC.

Applying Law of Cosines:

b^2=a^2+c^2-2acCosB\\b^2=207^2+135^2-2(207)(135)Cos65^\circ\\b^2=37453.8654\\b=\sqrt{37453.8654} \\b=193.53\: miles

The distance of the boat from its starting point is 193.53 miles (correct to 2 decimal places).
