0.00067% chance it will be rejected.
The probability of each event occurring multiplied together will give us the total probability of one item being defective found in the 3.
1st 
3/160
2nd
3/159
3rd
3/158 
\frac{3}{160} * \frac{3}{159} * \frac{3}{158} = \frac{27}{4019520} =0.0000067

Two thirds of a number is 3 1/2 more than three eights of a number. find the number
julsineya [31]
2/3x = 3.5 + 3/8x
8 • (2/3x) = 3.5 + 3 • (3/8)

16/24 X = 3.5 + 9/24 X
16/24x - 9/24x = 3.5
7/24 X = 3.5
7x/24 = 3.5
24 • (7x/24) = 3.5 • 24
7x = 84
7x/7 = 84/7
X = 12.

The number is 12.
