Answer: 1 in 18
This is the same as writing the fraction 1/18
==============================================================
Explanation:
Since she has 36 marbles total, and the probability of picking green is 1 in 2, this means (1/2)*36 = 18 marbles are green.
Then she also has (1/3)*36 = 12 red marbles and (1/9)*36 = 4 blue marbles.
So far, that accounts for 18+12+4 = 34 marbles in all. That leaves 36-4 = 2 marbles left over that must be black, as it's the only color left.
From that, the probability of choosing a black marble is 2/36 = 1/18.
There's a 1 in 18 chance of Maddy picking a black marble.
1/18 = 0.0556 = 5.56% approximately
Answer:
<u>b(n) = -11 + (n-1)*8</u>
<u></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n be the sequence number, with n=1 the first number b(1) -11
The sequence changes by +8 each step.
<u><em>b(1)</em></u><em> -11</em> + 8 = -3
<u><em>b(2)</em></u><em> -3</em> + 8 = 5
<u><em>b(3)</em></u> <em> 5 </em> + 8 = 13
<u><em>b(4)</em></u><em> </em> <em>13</em>
b(1) = -11
b(2) = -3. or b(1) + 1*8
b(3) = 5, or b(1) + 2*8
b(4) = 13, or b(1) + 3*8
We note that each step adds a multiple of 8 to the initial value of -11. This can be stated as (n-1)*8
The formula for this sequence would be b(n) = b(1) + (n-1)*8
<u>b(n) = -11 + (n-1)*8</u>
Check: Does n=3 return the value of 5?
b(n) = -11 + (n-1)*8
b(3) = -11 + ((3)-1)*8
b(3) = -11 + (2)*8
b(3) = -11 + 16
b(3) = 5 <u><em>YES</em></u>
Answer:
The answer is 36m
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 9m by 4, and you'll get (9x4)m, which is (36)m, which can be simplified into 36m.
Answer:
$22.50
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the unit of the sand sold is actually in cubic inches and not square inches.
V = L*B*H
V = 2.5 * 3 * 6
V = 45 in³
If 1 in³ = $0.50
45 = x
x = 45 * $0.50
x = $22.50
