5:7 (pencils to pens)
7/12 chance that a pen from the first box will be selected.
4:4 (colour pencils to crayons)
4/8 = 1/2 chance that a crayon from the second box will be selected.
The probability of picking both:
7/12 * 1/2 = 8/24 = 1/3
4 / 5 - 2 / 3 ( taking LCM on bottom )
= ( 12 - 10 ) / 15
= 2 / 15 Ans
A pythagoras triplet is a set of three numbers ... not just any three numbers,
but a set where the (square of one of them) is the sum of the (squares of the
other two).
If they're related in that way, then they can be the lengths of the sides of a
right triangle.
If they're not, then they can't.
I think that the answer is 16
