So lets solve this!

Quarts of water 1st container holds= 17/8

Quarts of water 2nd container holds= 5 3/4

Quarts of water does the second container holds than the first container=?

First of all we need to change 5 3/4 into an improper fraction

5 3/4= 23/4

Secondly, we need to find the LCM of 17/8 and 23/4

LCM:

17/8= 51/24

23/4= 138/24

So now we have got both of the LCM's 

Quarts of second container holds the first container= 23/4 - 138/24=87/24

Your answer is 87/24

Hope this Helps!

Amy reached into a bag, recorded the color of the tile she picked, returned the tile and drew again. These are the tiles she has
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

(a) P(next ball with blue) =  \frac{3}{10}       (b)  P(Not to be red) = 1-\frac{2}{5} =\frac{3}{5}

(c)  P(drawing 70 times yellow ball) = \frac{1}{10} \times 70 = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The total outcomes of the color of tile are :-

Red , Red, Blue, Yellow, Blue, Red, Green, Red, Blue, Green.

From the Question,

Total number of outcomes = 10

(a) What is the probability that her next draw will be blue ?

        Red = 4,

        Blue = 3,

        Green = 2,

        Yellow = 1.

   P(next ball with blue) =  \frac{3}{10}.

(b) What is the probability that her next draw will NOT be red?

    P(Red ball) =  \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}

But we have to find

   P(Not to be red) = 1-\frac{2}{5} =\frac{3}{5}

(c) If Amy draws 70 more times with the same tiles from the question above, what probability would you expect a yellow?

  P(Yellow ball) =  \frac{1}{10}

drawing it 70 times we get the probability

   P(drawing 70 times yellow ball) = \frac{1}{10} \times 70 = 7.
