Answer:

\frac{9}{56} =16.07%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you have to remember that probability is calculated by the next formula:

Probability=\frac{Desired.outcomes}{Possible.outcomes}

You can calculate the probability of two consequent events by multiplying the probability of each one occuring.

So the first one, you have 8 apple sin the basket and 3 of them are oranges, Jonas has to take out 3 out of 8.

Jonas=\frac{Desired.outcomes}{Possible.outcomes}\\Jonas=\frac{3}{8}

Now there are only 7 fruits in the basket, 3 of them are apples, this means that Beth would have to take out 3 out of 7

Beth=\frac{Desired.outcomes}{Possible.outcomes}\\Beth=\frac{3}{7}

Now we just have to multiply both probabilities:

Combined probablilty=(\frac{3}{8}) (\frac{3}{7} )\\Combined probablilty=(\frac{3*3}{8*7})\\Combined probablilty=(\frac{9}{56})

So the answer would be that there is a \frac{9}{56} probability that Jonas and Beth will get an orange and then an apple, when taking fruit out of the basket.

As the basket contains 8 pieces of fruits of which 3 are oranges,

the probability that Jonas will get an orange is <span>3/8</span>.

Considering Jonas has already got an orange, as 7 fruits are left of which 3 are apple, probability that Beth will get an apple will be <span>3/7</span>.

Hence the probability that Jonas will get an orange and Beth will get an apple is 3/8*3/7=9/56

Answer: 9/56

Draw a net for each of the following shapes:
Margarita [4]
A. You would start off by a rectangle in the middle, then you would place to squares on the bottom and top if the rectangle. After you've done that, you place two rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the original rectangle. Finally you add a rectangle (Same size) to either ends of the secondary rectangles. It should look like this.


B. You would start off with a rectangle in the middle, then you would add 2 equilateral triangles to the top and bottom of the rectangle. After that, you Simply put 2 rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the rectangle. It should look something like this.

C. To make a pyramid, it's actually quite simple. You would start off with a square in the middle, and then place equilateral triangles on ALL sides of the square. It should look something like this.

I hope this helped ^^

A train leaves at 08.43 and arrives at its destination at 09.23. If the train travelled 73 km, what was it's average speed in km
serg [7]

Answer: 109.5 km/ hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = 73 km

Time = 40 minutes = 40/60 = 2/3 hours

Speed = Distance / time

= 73 / 2/3

= 73 x 3/2 = 219 / 2 = 109.5 km/hr
