\frac{1}{6} or 0.167 pounds more butter was used than sugar

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Desmond's Desserts made a batch of fresh scones with 2/3 of a pound of butter and 1/2 of a  pound of sugar

<em><u>To find: Amount of butter used than sugar</u></em>

From given information,

\text{Butter used} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ pound }

\text{Sugar used } = \frac{1}{2} \text{ pound }

To find how much butter is used than sugar, find the difference between them

Difference = Butter\ used - Sugar\ used

Difference = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}\\\\Difference = \frac{2 \times 2-1 \times 3}{3 \times 2}\\\\Difference =\frac{4-3}{6}\\\\Difference =\frac{1}{6} = 0.167\\\\

Thus \frac{1}{6} or 0.167 pounds more butter was used than sugar

Out of 18 people in a room, 2 have red hair. What is the probability that a person picked at random from the room does NOT have
Mariana [72]

Answer :

  • Total number of people in the room = 18

  • Number of people with red hair = 2

  • Number of people not with red hair = 18 - 2 = 16

  • Probability of picking a person who doesn't have red hair = \sf\dfrac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:outcomes}

Probability = 16/18

Reduce the fraction with 2

Probability = 8/9

If a coin is tossed 5 times, and then a standard six-sided die is rolled 4 times, and finally a group of three cards are drawn f
Step2247 [10]

Answer:  5,499,187,200

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A coin is tossed 5 times.  

There are two options (heads or tails) so the possible outcomes are: 2⁵

A six-sided die is rolled 4 times.

There are six options so the possible outcomes are: 6⁴

A group of 3 cards are drawn (without replacement).

The first outcome has 52 options, the second has 51 options, and the third has 50 options: 52 x 51 x 50

Now if we want the coin AND the die AND the cards, we have to multiply all of their possible outcomes:

     2⁵ x   6⁴  x  52 x 51 x 50

=   32 x 1296 x 132,600

=  5,499,187,200
