There are a total of 5+6+4+3+2=20 M&Ms in the bag. Since there are 6 yellow M&Ms in the bag, there's a 6/20 probability that the first M&M will be yellow. Then, there are 5 more yellow M&Ms and 19 more total M&Ms in the bag, so there is a 5/19 chance the next M&M will be yellow. Finally, there are 4 more yellow M&Ms in the bag and 18 total M&Ms, so there is a 4/18 chance the last M&M will be yellow.
Multiplying these together, we have:
(6*5*4)/(20*19*18)
This simplifies to:
1/57
Therefore, there is a 1/57 probability that all M&Ms will be yellow.
First subtract 3 from 51 which gives you 48, then divide 48 by 3 which gives you the answer of 16.
Answer:
It will take 15 years for $500 to yield $900 at an interest rate of 0.12
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple Interest equals Principal times Rate times The time in years,
That is SI = P*R*T
SI is $900
P = $500
R = 0.12
T i.e. Time is unknown
T will be equal to SI divided by P*R
i.e., T = SI/PR
T = $900/$500*0.12 = 900/60
T = 15 years.
Therefore, it will take $500 investment to yield $900 interest in 15 years at an interest rate of 0.12
X= 1.288 or just 1.29 is the correct answer. When you factor, set each factor equal to zero.
1. Move all terms to one side of the equation, usually the left, using addition or subtraction.
2. Factor the equation completely.
3. Set each factor equal to zero, and solve.
4. List each solution from Step 3 as a solution to the original equation.
There is 15 boys in total. 10 of them like fishing.
Therefore, 10/15 boys like fishing.
10/15 = 0.66 = 66.6%
