This is called independent probability. Just because the first two kids are girls does not change the probability of the next childs gender. 
So it is 1/2 or 50%. 
The chance of all three kids being girls is the same as tossing a coin thrice and having heads all 3 times. Thus it is 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that she works at a rate of $12 an hour, she also works 20 hours a week.

The total amount she makes per week is $240 (12 x 20). However, that is without deductions. We have to subtract $34 from the $240.

$240 - $34 = $206.

$206 is the amount she makes in a week and she wants to save $950. How many weeks does she have to save? Well, let's divide.

$950 / $206 = 4.6 weeks. However, if we have to round up to 5 weeks.

Do not float on water:  d > 0.0361 lb/in³
