This is a probability problem with two dependent events and conditional probability. Note that after the first donut is chosen, it is not replaced into the data set, so only 23 donuts remain. If we set A=selection of a lemon-filled, and B=selection of a custard-filled, then P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B|A), where P(B|A) means the probability of B happening given that A has already occurred.P(A) = 8/24 = 1/3 = 0.333333P(B|A) = 12/23 = 0.521739P(A and B) = 1/3(12/23) = 12/69 = 0.1739130435 or 17.4%

One stack has 6 cups, and its height is 15 cm. The other one has 12 cups, and its height is 23 cm. How many cups are needed for
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Given

Number of stacks = 2

Stack 1 = 6 cups; h1 = 15cm

Stack 2 = 12 cups; h2 = 23cm

Let's first find the average:

With an average of 4/3, to obtain the number of cups needed to obtain a height of 50m, we have:

50 / (4/3)

= 50 * 3/4

= 150/4

= 37.5

From the answer, we can see that the number of cups is not really proportional to the height of the stack, because the average of stack one and stack 2 are different.

In 1995, Hazel was 25 years older than her son Gary. In 2022, Hazel's age will be 150% of Gary's age. How old were they in 1995?
Kitty [74]
So find the difference between 1995 and 2022 to make it easier
2022-1995=27

so the rephrased question is
when hazel was x years old, she was 25 years older than son gary who was y old at that time (equation is x is 25 more than y or x=25+y)
in 27 years, (this means x+27 and y+27) hazel's age will be 150% of gary's age (x+27= 150% of y+27)
percent means parts out of 100  so 150%=150/100=15/10=1.5
'of' in math means multiply so
the equations are
x=25+y
x+27=1.5(y+27)
subsitute 25+y for x in second euation
25+y+27=1.5(y+27)
add like terms
y+52=1.5(y+27)
I personally dislike decimals to multiply both sides by 2 to make 2 0.5's or 1 (you are technically supposed to distribute or divide both sides by 1.5) so
2y+104=3(y+27)
distribute
2y+104=3y+81
subtract 2y from both sides
104=y+81
subtract 81 from both sides
23=y
subsitute
x=25+y
x=25+23
x=48


Hazel was 48 and Gary was 23 in the year of 1995
