Let x be the capacity of the tank then
3x/4-x/8 =15,
then x=24, so so far it has 3/4 *24 =18 so you need 6 gallons to fill it up

From a box containing 10 cards numbered 1 to 10, four cards are drawn together. The probability that their sum is even is 21 21
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that between 1 to 10 there are 5 even and 5 odd numbers.

We could get 4 even cards , 4 odd cards or 2 odd and 2 even cards

Let´s check all this combinations

Case 1: When all 4 numbers are even:  

We are going to take 4 of the 5 even numbers in the box so we have

5C4=5

Case 2: When all 4 numbers are odd:  

We are going to take 4 of the 5 odd numbers in the box, so we have

5C4=5

Case 3: When 2 are even and 2 are odd:

We are giong to take 2 from 5 even and odd cards in the box so we have

 

5C2 * 5C2

Remember that we obtain the probability from

\frac{Number-of-favourable-Outcome}{Total-number-of-outcomes}

So we have the number of favourable outcomes but we need the Total cases for drawing four cards, so we have that:  

We are taking 4 of the 10 cards:

10C_4=210

Hence we have that the probability that their sum is even

\frac{5+5+100}{210}=\frac{11}{21}

Usually when you do expressions involving subtraction you can do Keep, Change ,Change
That means you keep the sign of the first number and change the other two signs.
It is best you rewrite the expression to addition because a lot of people don't do well with subtracting .
