Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p be the number of trees Wangari plants, and h be the time she spends planting them in hours.
We have been given that Wangari plants trees at a constant rate of 12 trees every 3 hours.
Let us find number of trees planted in 1 hour by dividing 12 by 3.
We can represent this information as:
Therefore, the equation relates the number of trees (p) Wangari plants, and the time (h) she spends planting them in hours.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A car starts with a dull tank of gas
1/7 of the gas has been used around the city.
With the rest of the gas in the car, the car can travel to and from Ottawa three times.
Question asked:
What fractions of a tank of gas does each complete trip to Ottawa use?
Solution:
Fuel used around the city =
Remaining fuel after driving around the city = 1 -
=
According to question:
As from the rest of the gas in the car that is , the car can complete 3 trip to Ottawa which means,
By unitary method:
The car can complete 3 trip by using = tank of gas.
The car can complete 1 trip by using =
=
=
= tank of gas
Thus, tank of gas used for each complete trip to Ottawa.

Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that the question is interested in the probability that a randomly chosen class is a Friday class with a lab experiment (2/15). That is somewhat different from the probability that a lab experiment is conducted on a Friday (2/3).
Based on our assumption, we want to create a simulation that includes a 1/5 chance of the day being a Friday, along with a 2/3 chance that the class has a lab experiment on whatever day it is.
That simulation can consist of choosing 1 of 5 differently-colored marbles, and rolling a 6-sided die with 2/3 of the numbers being designated as representing a lab-experiment day. (The marble must be replaced and the marbles stirred for the next trial.) For our purpose, we can designate the yellow marble as "Friday", and numbers greater than 2 as "lab-experiment".
The simulation of 70 different choices of a random class is shown in the attachment.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
IMO, the use of <em>70 trials</em> is coincidentally the same number as the first <em>70 days</em> of school. The calendar is deterministic, so there will be exactly 14 Fridays in that period. If, in 70 draws, you get 16 yellow marbles, you cannot say, "the probability of a Friday is 16/70." You need to be very careful to properly state the question you're trying to answer.
