Answer:

Probability = \frac{1}{24}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Oranges = 3

Apples = 5

Banana = 2

Total = 10

Required

Determine the probability of 1 orange, 1 apple and 1 banana

Since, order is not important:

Probability = P(Orange) * P(Apple) * P(Banana)

Probability = \frac{3}{10} * \frac{5}{9} * \frac{2}{8}

<em>The difference in the numerator is as a result of picking the fruit without replacement</em>

Probability = \frac{30}{720}

Probability = \frac{1}{24}

Jenny went to the store with $10 and returned home
stira [4]

Answer:

The milk is priced at $1.74/gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jenny started out with $10 and ended up with $1.30 in change, she must have spent $10 - $1.30, or $8.70.

                                                        $8.70

Then the unit price for the milk is ---------- = $1.74 per gallon

                                                         5 gal

Kenneth wants to sew a tent, including the bottom so that it is entirely enclosed. He has a rectangular piece of canvas with dim
Vadim26 [7]

Based on the calculations, the depth of tent is equal to 12 feet.

<h3>How to calculate the depth of the tent?</h3>

Based on the diagram (see attachment) and information provided, we can logically deduce the following parameters (points):

  • Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle (AB = AC).
  • The front and back of the triangle are identical triangles.
  • Side AD is perpendicular side BC.
  • CD is the midpoint of BC i.e CD = BC/2 = 6/2 = 3 feet.

Next, we would determine the height of the right-angled triangle (ADC) by applying Pythagorean theorem:

AC² = AD² + DC²

AD² = AC² - DC²

AD² = 5² - 3²

AD² = 25 - 9

AD² = 16

AD = √16

AD = 4 feet.

Also, we would determine the area of the triangle (ABC):

Area = 1/2 × b × h

<u>Where:</u>

  • b is the base area.
  • h is the height.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Area = 1/2 × 6 × 4

Area = 12 feet².

Depth of tent = 3 × height of ADC

Depth of tent = 3 × 4

Depth of tent = 12 feet.
