If 3/5 of all the brownies is 21, then 5/3 of 21 is the number of the brownies that Lauren brought in.
That probably sounded super confusing. When multiplying a number by a reciprocal of a fraction (a fraction where the numerator and denominator is reversed), the previous fraction multiplication is reversed.
Multiplying 21 with 5/3 will give us the original number of brownies.
Lauren originally brought 35 brownies.

Step-by-step explanation:
We have 9 different letters, so the total number of words we can make is:
If we want just the words that begin with L and end with a vowel, we would have the first letter "locked", so we have 8 letters remaining, and it must end with a vowel, so the last "slot" has just 4 possible values (A, E, I or O). Then we would have 4 possible values for the last letter and 7 remaining letters in the middle of the word:
The probability is calculated by the division of the number of words we want over the total number of words:
