Answer:

567/398475 in fraction or 0.0014229249 in decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we are given these values

Total pair of socks = 25 pairs of socks

9 pairs of white socks

7 pairs of black socks

6 pairs of brown socks

3 pairs of blue socks

From the question, we can see that, this is probability without replacement.

Hence,

P(Black then white then white the brown then blue)=

7/25 × 9/24× 8/23 ×6/22 × 3/21

= 9072/6375600

= 567/398475

Therefore, the Probability of picking a Black socks then white socks then white socks , then brown socks and then blue socks = 567/398475 in fraction or 0.0014229249 in decimal

Answer:

0.0014 = 0.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the total number of pairs:

9 + 7 + 6 + 3 = 25 pairs

Then, we need to find the probability for each case:

First socks black: 7 pairs over 25: P1 = 7/25

Second socks white: 9 pairs over 24: P1 = 9/24 = 3/8

Third socks white: 8 pairs over 23: P1 = 8/23

Fourth socks brown: 6 pairs over 22: P1 = 6/22 = 3/11

Fifth socks blue: 3 pairs over 21: P1 = 3/21 = 1/7

The final probability will the the product of all probabilities above:

P = (7/25) * (3/8) * (8/23) * (3/11) * (1/7) = 0.0014 = 0.14%

Cross multiply and get 27x= 45 x 18
Or 27X = 810.
Next, divide by 27 on both sides to get X=30.

How to solve 325x52 traditional way
pentagon [3]

place 325 on top and line up 52 with 25 on bottom. Then multiply 2 with 5 to get 10. Place the zero bellow the line and carry the 1 over the 2. Multiply 2 times 2 to get 4 and then add one to get 5. Put the five bellow the line. Multiply 3 times 2 to get a total of 6 and bring it bellow the line. Bring a zero bellow the 0 that's bellow the line. Multiply 5 times 5 to get 25. Bring the 5 to the left of the zero you just placed and carry the 2. Multiply 5 times 2 to get 10 and add the 12. Place the 2 to the left of the 5 you just placed bellow the line and carry the 1. Multiply 5 times 3 to get 15 and add the 1 to get 16. Place the 16 to the left of the 2 you just placed bellow the line. Then add 650 plus 16250 to get an answer of 16,900.


Wow that was long and hard to explain LOL. :)
