Answer:

a) 3/7

b) 3/5

Explanation:

The figure attached shows the Venn diagram for the given sets.

a) What is the probability that the number chosen is a multiple of 3 given that it is a factor of 24?

From the whole numbers 1 to 15, the multiples of 3 that are factors of 24 are in the intersection of the two sets: 3, 6, and 12.

There are a total of 7 multiples of 24, from 1 to 15.

Then, there are 3 multiples of 3 out of 7 factors of 24, and the probability that the number chosen is a multiple of 3 given that is a factor of 24 is:

b) What is the probability that the number chosen is a factor of 24 given that it is a multiple of 3?

The factors of 24 that are multiples of 3 are, again, 3, 6, and 12. Thus, 3 numbers.

The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15: 5 numbers.

Then, the probability that the number chosen is a factor of 24 given that is a multiple of 3 is:

Three times a larger number is 30 more than 5 times a smaller number. The sum of the larger number and 5 times the smaller numbe

slava [35]

3y = 5x + 30

y + 5x = 50 .......(1)

3y - 5x = 30 .....(2) - rearranging the first equation.

Add (1) and (2):-

4y = 80

y = 20
Now plug y = 20 into equation (1):-
20 + 5x = 50
5x = 30
x = 6

The 2 numbers are 6 and 20.
