Answer:

The required probability is 5/18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of total students = 10

Number of girls = 5

Number of boys = 5

Formula for probability:

Probability=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total outcome}}

The probability that the first student chosen will be a girl = \frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}

After selecting 1 student, the total number of student is

10-1=9

The probability that the second student chosen will be a boy = \frac{5}{9}

The probability that the first student chosen will be a girl and the second will be a boy is

P=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{5}{9}

P=\frac{5}{18}

Therefore the required probability is 5/18.

5 girls, 5 boys...total of 10 students

P(1st pick is a girl) = 5/10 which reduces to 1/2
P(2nd pick is a boy) = 5/9 

P (both) = 1/2 * 5/9 = 5/18 <=

What are the possible values of remainder r, when a positive integer 'a' is divided by 3​
fredd [130]

Answer:

0, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Euclid's division Lemma states that for any two positive integers ‘a’ and ‘b’ there exist two unique whole numbers ‘q’ and ‘r’ such that , a = bq + r, where 0≤ r < b.

Here, a= Dividend, b= Divisor, q= quotient and r = Remainder.

According to Euclid's division lemma a 3q+r, where 0≤r≤3 and r is an integer.

Therefore, the values of r can be 0, 1 or 2.

sarita use 54 ounces of apples to make an apple pie how many pounds and ounces of apples did sarita use
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
One pound is 16oz. So you take 54 and minus it by 16 until you get something less that 16. Then you take how many times you subtracted it, and that is how many pounds. Then you take the "leftover" number and they you have your answer. 
so Sarita used 3 pounds and 8 oz.
