6 0

Answer:

1200

Step-by-step explanation:

The number who drink coffee is 3/4 of 8000, so ...

... (3/4)×8000 = 6000.

Of those, 1/5 add cream, so the number of coffee drinkers who add cream to their coffee is ...

... (1/5)×6000 = 1200.

_____

<em>Alternate solutions</em>

We have computed ...

... (1/5)×((3/4)×8000) = 1200

Since multiplication is associative, you can multiply the fractions first, if you wish:

... ((1/5)×(3/4))×8000 = (3/20)×8000

... = 24000/20 = 1200

or

... = 3×(8000/20) = 3×400 = 1200

Beth filled 32 jars with paint. If each jar holds 1 pint of paint, how many gallons of paint did Beth use?
Snowcat [4.5K]
I think 4 gallons.
There's 2 pints in 1 quart 
And 4 quarts in 1 gallon.
So, 32/2 = 16 then divided by 4 = 4.

ou draw one card from a​ 52-card deck. Then the card is replaced in the deck and the deck is​ shuffled, and you draw again. Find
julsineya [31]

Answer: Our required probability is \dfrac{1}{52}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of nines = 4

Number of hearts = 13

It is the case of replacement.

Probability of drawing a nine the first time and a hear the second time is given by

\dfrac{4}{52}\times \dfrac{13}{52}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{13}\times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{52}

Hence, our required probability is \dfrac{1}{52}

babunello [35]

Complete question :

Image relating to the question can be found in the attachment below :

Answer:

4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture :

The nine chips are : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Even chips = 2, 4, 6, 8

Probability = number of required outcomes / (number of total possible outcomes)

Probability of drawing a chip with an even number :

P(even number) = number of even chips / total number of chips

P(even number) = 4 / 9

(1) 20:4=5:1. 80:16 16 weeks since he’s doing 5per week, and 80 divided by 5 is 16.

(2) 6:3=2:1. 10:5 It will take 5 hours because she’s walking 2km per hour, so it would take 5 hours to walk 10km.

(3) 1:20 4:80 It will take 80 minutes because 20x4=80

(4) 1:1 20:20 it will take her 20 days since she makes one craft a day and she’s making 20.

(5) 12:1 84:7 84 cakes since there is 7 days in a week. 12x7=84
