Jamie has 8/10 of a candy bar, and wants to split it into an unknown number of 1/3 pieces. Our objective is to find the number of pieces.

Let the number of pieces be x.

To know the portion of the candy bar each piece is, we divide the total portion of the candy bar by the number of pieces.

So (8/10)/x = 1/3

Multiply each side by x

8/10 = 1/3x

Divide each side by 1/3 so we can have the variable x on a side, and its value on another.

(8/10)/(1/3) = (1/3x)/(1/3)

(8/10) / (1/3) = x

Dividing 2 fractions is equal to multiplying the first fraction by the inverse of the second:

(8/10) / (1/3) = x

(8/10) * 3 = x

24/10 = x

x = 2.4


Since this not a whole number, Jamie can make 2 full 1/3 pieces, and a piece of 1/10.

Or, you can easily say that Jamie can make 2.4 pieces of 1/3.

The editor of a textbook publishing company is deciding whether to publish a proposed textbook. Information on previous textbook
kogti [31]

Answer:

34.86% probability that it will be huge​ success

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Receiving a favorable review.

Event B: Being a huge success.

Information on previous textbooks published show that 20 % are huge​ successes

This means that P(B) = 0.2

99 % of the huge successes received favorable​ reviews

This means that P(A|B) = 0.99

Probability of receiving a favorable review:

20% are huge​ successes. Of those, 99% receive favorable reviews.

30% are modest​ successes. Of those, 70% receive favorable reviews.

30% break​ even. Of those, 40% receive favorable reviews.

20% are losers. Of those, 20% receive favorable reviews.

Then

P(A) = 0.2*0.99 + 0.3*0.7 + 0.3*0.4 + 0.2*0.2 = 0.568

Finally

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.2*0.99}{0.568} = 0.3486

34.86% probability that it will be huge​ success
