Using the probability concept, it is found that since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be $\dfrac{7}{10}$

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

In this problem:

In total, there are 8 + n sweets in the bag.

Of those, n are red.

The probability of red is:

$p=\dfrac{n}{n+8}$

Supposing, we solve for n:

$\dfrac{n}{n+8} = \dfrac{7}{10}$

10n = 7n + 56

3n = 56

n = 56 / 3

n = 18.67

Since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be 7 / 10

Worksheet 1.3

Lena [83]

Answer:

<h2>50h miles</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to write a math expression for the problem, we will use the formula for calculating speed.

Speed is the change of distance of a body with respect to time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance/Time

Distance = Speed * Time

If Lumpy drove for h hours at 50 mph, then Lumpy speed = 50mph and time = h hours.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula to get the distance;

Distance = 50mph * h hours

Distance = 50h miles

<em>Hence the math expression that modeled how far Lumpy drive is 50h miles</em>
