Hello again, and thank you for asking your questions here on brainly.

Short answer: 1:2

Why?

To find this out, we must simplify 15:24. 15:24 can be simplified to 5/8. So, which is 5/8 larger than? (5/8 < 19/24) ~~ (5/8 < 7/8) ~~ (5/8 < 6/8) ~~ (5/8 > 1/2)
5/8 > 1/2

Hope this helped you! ♥

15:24 is divisible by 3, simplifying it down to 3:8. 19:24, 7:8, and 6:8 are all obviously larger than this ratio, and 1:2 can be equalized to 4:8, which is also bigger than 3:8, so none of the answer choices are less than 15:24.

Answer:

the probability is 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the coins are randomly selected, the probability of pulling a dime first is the number of dimes (4) divided by the total number of coins (10).

p(dime first) = 4/10 = 2/5

Then, having drawn a dime, there are 9 coins left, of which 5 are nickels. The probability of randomly choosing a nickel is 5/9.

The joint probability of these two events occurring sequentially is the product of their probabilities:

p(dime then nickel) = (2/5)×(5/9) = 2/9

_____

Alternate solution

You can go at this another way. You can list all the pairs of coins that can be drawn. There are 90 of them: 10 first coins and, for each of those, 9 coins that can be chosen second. Of these 90 possibilities, there are 4 dimes that can be chosen first, and 5 nickels that can be chosen second, for a total of 20 possible dime-nickel choices out of the 90 total possible outcomes.

p(dime/nickel) = 20/90 = 2/9

A fruit stand has 28 apples, 20 oranges, and 12 pears. What is the ratio of apples to the total pieces of fruit?

ruslelena [56]

Data:
Apples = 28
Oranges = 20
Pears = 12

What is the ratio of apples to the total pieces of fruit?
Solving:
 $\frac{apples}{apples+oranges+pears} = \frac{28}{28+20+12} = \frac{28}{60} \frac{\div4}{\div4} \to\:\boxed{\boxed{ratio = \frac{7}{15}}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
