To find this add 3 and 1 together.  This gives you 4.  Then, you subtract 4 from 9.  The answer is 5.  Therefore, the probability to pull out a pineapple candy would be 5/9.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy is:

                  \dfrac{5}{9}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

There are three flavors in a ice cream namely:

orange, strawberry, and pineapple.

We know that for any three events in a single experiment the sum of the probability of three events is equal to 1.

i.e. if A, B and C are three events and P denotes the probability of an event then:

         P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=1

Here let A= flavor is orange

B= flavor is strawberry

and  C= flavor is pineapple.

and we have:

P(A)=\dfrac{1}{9},\ P(B)=\dfrac{3}{9}

Hence, we have:

\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{3}{9}+P(C)=1\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\\dfrac{4}{9}+P(C)=1\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\P(C)=1-\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\P(C)=\dfrac{9-4}{9}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(C)=\dfrac{5}{9}

Mike hiked to a lake in 4.5 hours at an average rate of 2
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It took Pedro  <em>3.81 hours</em> to reach the lake.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Mike to hike a lake = 4.5 hours

Average rate of Mike while hiking the lake = 2\frac{1}{5}\ miles/hr

Formula for distance can be seen as:

Distance = Speed\times Time

Distance traveled by Mike = 4.5 \times 2\frac{1}{5} = 4.5\times \frac{11}{5} = 9.9\ miles

Rate of Pedro while hiking the same distance = 2\frac{3}{5}\ miles/hr = \frac{13}{5}\ miles/hr

Given that, Pedro also travels the same distance.

And we have to find the Time.

Time = \dfrac{Distance}{Speed}

Time = \dfrac{9.9}{\frac{13}{5}}\\\Rightarrow Time = \dfrac{9.9\times 5}{13} = \bold{3.81\ hours}

It took Pedro  <em>3.81 hours</em> to reach the lake.
