The probability that an event occurs is the number of times it could occur compared to the total number of possible events, assuming the probability of each event occurring is equal.
John has

Lets see the answer to this question the fraction of the entire load of dirt in each mound is b.1/2 this is how i got my answer you multiply 3*1/6=1/2 so the fraction of the entire load of dirt that was in each mound is 1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b
Bill's rate of travel = x
Let Julie's rate of travel = 3x
The time each travels is 2.5 hours
Together they travel a distance of 190 miles
d = r*t
Bill's distance covered is r * t = 2.5x
Julie's distance travel is 2.5 * 3x = 7.5x
The total distance = Bill + Julie
2.5x + 7.5x = 190
10x = 190
x = 190/10
x = 19
Bill's distance = 2.5 * 19 = 47.5
Julie's distance = 19 * 7.5 = 142.5
Rate = distance / time
Bill's rate = 47.5 / 2.5 = 19 miles per hour.
Julie's rate = 142.5/2.5 = 57 miles per hour
Is there an easier way?
You should notice that Bill's rate is just x which is 19 miles / hour
You can also notice that Julie is going 3 times as fast or 19*3 = 57
A general equation to use for this situation is y = mx + b.
For this question, we can assume that y is total cost, m is cost per balloon, x is the amount of balloons, and b as the service fee; so we can set the equation up:
y = (4.50)x + 12
And we can further plug in the total cost to find the number of balloons purchased for the party:
79.50 = (4.50)x + 12
Now we can solve for x (number of balloons):
67.50 = (4.50)x
x = 15
The total number of balloons purchased for the party is 15.
