Answer:

The gardeners should buy 45 white hydrangeas and 104 pink hydrangeas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the gardeners at Middleton Place Gardens have to buy x numbers of white hydrangeas and y number of pink hydrangeas.

So, x + y = 41 {Given} ........... (1)

Again, for another flower bed they want to plant 108 hydrangeas, where the number of white ones is 2 times that of Middleton Place Gardens and the number of pink ones is 3 times that of Middleton Place Gardens.

So, 2x + 3y = 108 ........ (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,

3y - 2y = 108 - 82 = 26

⇒ y = 26

And from equation (1) we get,

x = 41 - 26 = 15.

So, the total number of white hydrangeas the gardeners have to buy is (x + 2x) = 3x = 3 × 15 = 45.

And the total number of pink hydrangeas the gardeners have to buy is (y + 3y) = 4y = 4 × 26 = 104. (Answer)

Donavan and Jones are randomly choosing chalices to drink from. 4 of the chalices contain purified water, 5 contain spoiled milk
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Chalice with purified water = 4

With spoiled milk = 5

With flat soda = 6

Probability of Jones drinking from a chalice with purified water after Donovan had drank from 3 = 1/3

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes = (4 + 5 + 6) = 15

After Donovan drinks 3 :

Total possible outcomes = (15 - 3) = 12

If the probability of Jones choosing a chalice with purified water is 1/3 then :

(Required outcome / Total possible outcomes) =1 /3

(Required outcome / 12) = 1 / 3

Required outcome * 3 = 12

Required outcome = 12 / 3

Required outcome = 4

Therefore, since initial number of chalice with purified water is 4,

4 - 4 = 0

Then Donovan did not drink from a chalice containing purified water.
