Answer:

a) 7 equal sized pieces of 3/8 pounds

               7* 3/8 =  21/8

b) 3 equal sized pieces of 7/8 pounds

               3* 7/8 =  21/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin has 2 5/8 pounds of ground beef.

2 5/8 = 21/8 pounds = 2.625 pounds

Because 21 is divisible by 3 and 7, we can arrange the ground beef in two configurations

a) 7 equal sized pieces of 3/8 pounds

               7* 3/8 =  21/8

b) 3 equal sized pieces of 7/8 pounds

               3* 7/8 =  21/8

The probability of an event is expressed as

Pr(\text{event) =}\frac{Total\text{ number of favourable/desired outcome}}{Tota\text{l number of possible outcome}}

Given:

\begin{gathered} \text{Red}\Rightarrow2 \\ \text{Green}\Rightarrow3 \\ \text{Blue}\Rightarrow2 \\ \Rightarrow Total\text{ number of balls = 2+3+2=7 balls} \end{gathered}

The probability of drwing two blue balls one after the other is expressed as

Pr(\text{blue)}\times Pr(blue)

For the first draw:

\begin{gathered} Pr(\text{blue) = }\frac{number\text{ of blue balls}}{total\text{ number of balls}} \\ =\frac{2}{7} \end{gathered}

For the second draw, we have only 1 blue ball left out of a total of 6 balls (since a blue ball with drawn earlier).

Thus,

\begin{gathered} Pr(\text{blue)}=\frac{number\text{ of blue balls left}}{total\text{ number of balls left}} \\ =\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}

The probability of drawing two blue balls one after the other is evaluted as

\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{6}\times\frac{2}{7} \\ =\frac{1}{21} \end{gathered}

The probablity that none of the balls drawn is blue is evaluted as

\begin{gathered} 1-\frac{1}{21} \\ =\frac{20}{21} \end{gathered}

Hence, the probablity that none of the balls drawn is blue is evaluted as

\frac{20}{21}

A drawer contains 12 brown socks and 12 black socks, all unmatched. A man takes socks out at random in the dark. 21. Required in
avanturin [10]

Answer:

6  socks

Step-by-step explanation:

What we must do is calculate the probability of this happening, that he takes out two black socks in the first two taken out.

There are 12 black socks and in total they are 24, therefore the probability of drawing 1 is:

12/24

and now the probability of getting another one is 11 (there is one less outside) and in total they are 23:

11/23

the final probability is the multiplication of these events:

(12/24) * (11/23)

P = 0.24

Now, to know how many you should get, we multiply the probability by the total number of socks, that is:

0.24 * 24 = 5.76

So you must take out at least 6 socks for the above to happen.

3. A vehicle uses 15 gallons of gasoline to travel 13 miles. At this rate, how many miles can the
Tems11 [23]
1. Start by identifying what the question wants so we are looking for miles per 1 gallon.
2. Set up a statement. When the word “per” is being used it relates to a fraction or a ratio. In this question we need to find how many miles a single gallon will give us. So set it up as miles/gallons
3. Plug in your numbers. Now our statement is 13 miles/15 gallons
4. Calculate. So do 13/15 which equals 0.86 miles per 1 gallon.
Tip: always add in words into your calculations. Mainly the units you are using so you can quickly look and know what the units will be. This will help you in upper placement math as well

MT is a diameter of OE. Calculate the measure of ZMTH.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

A. 17°

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: measure of an inscribed angle = ½(intercepted arc)

Inscribed angle = m<MTH

Intercepted arc = arc MH = 34°

Therefore,

m<MTH = ½(Arc MH)

Substitute

m<MTH = ½(34)

m<MTH = 17°
