Answer:

7/30

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Seven-ninths (7/9) of the pencils in a box are yellow and three-tenths (3/10) of the yellow pencils are sharpened.

To find the fraction that represents sharpened yellow pencils, we find the product of the the fraction of yellow pencils and the fraction of yellow pencils that are sharpened.

That is:

=> (7 / 9) * (3 / 10)

=(7 * 3) / (9 * 10)

= 21 / 90

= 7 / 30

7/30 represents the fraction of sharpened yellow pencils.

From eight different books, in how many ways can any four of them be arranged side by side on a bookshelf?
Snezhnost [94]
First we calculate how many ways you can choose four books from a set of eight.
We use the formula n! / [r! * (n-r)!]

8! / [4! * 4!]

= 8*7*6*5 / 4*3*2*1 = 70 ways

Then we have to calculate how many permutations can be made from 4 objects which equals 4*3*2*1 = 24

So, the TOTAL number of ways = 70 * 24 = 1,680

drek231 [11]

Answer:

.2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability question. So it's asking you to find the probability that a client remained a member for more than 6 months, given that the client joined in January - which is formatted as P = (.5 | .12). You would then divide the chance of being over 6 months AND in January over the chance of being a member for over six months. ( .024 / .12) There, you would get .2 as your answer.
