Answer:

The probability of getting a pair of red socks is 0.322

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data we have that A drawer contains 11 identical red socks and 8 identical black socks, hence, the total number of socks is 19, therefore, in order to calculate the probability of getting a pair of red socks we would have to use the following formula:

probability of getting a pair of red socks=11C2/19C2

probability of getting a pair of red socks=55/171

probability of getting a pair of red socks=0.322

The probability of getting a pair of red socks is 0.322

Answer: 312 ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Rectangle = bh = 16 ft x 18 ft  = 288 ft^{2}

Area of Triangle = 1/2 bh = 1/2 x (16-12) ft x (6) ft x 2 (There's 2 triangles) = 24 ft^{2}

24 ft^2 + 288 ft^2 = 312 ft^2

A pizza had 9/10 left before Lucas ate 4/5 of the pizza. How much pizza is left over
Norma-Jean [14]
1/10 is left.

Explanation:

First we need to find a common denominator. Since 5×2=10, if we multiply 4/5 by 2/2, we will be able to subtract that from 9/10.

4/5×2/2= 8/10. Then if we subtract that from the 9/10 left of the pizza, we get 1/10, the amount remaining.

Hope this helps :)
