Answer:

1 in 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = success / (success + failure)

Odds = success / failure

The probability is 8%, which means in a group of 100 people, 8 will catch the flu and 92 will not.  So the odds are 8/92, which reduces to 1/11.5, or approximately 1/12.

How would the number of times edgardo uses a container to fill the 10 gallon cooler change if he uses a one cup container? Expla
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Edgardo would use the container <u>160 times</u> to fill.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Edgardo uses a container to fill the 10 gallon cooler.

If he uses a one cup container.

Now, to find the times it would take to fill the 10 gallon container.

As, the capacity of container = 1 cup.

And, the capacity of cooler = 10 gallon.

So, we use conversion factor to find the times the container to fill the cooler:

1 gallon = 16 cups.

10 gallon = 10\times 16\ cups.

10 gallon = 160 cups.

<u><em>Thus, to fill the 10 gallon cooler 160 cups of container needed.</em></u>

<u><em>And, the container is of 1 cup.</em></u>

So, to get the times he would use the container we divide 160 by 1:

160\div 1=160.

<u><em>Hence, 160 times Edgardo would use the 1 cup container to fill the 10 gallon cooler.</em></u>

Therefore, Edgardo would use the container 160 times to fill.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The first answer: 5bk + 5b + k

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, you might say it would be the 10bk one, but that's not right.

The only you can get two variables together is through multiplication. That's why 10bk would not work.
