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%

an art teacher has 1 1/2 pounds of red clay and 3/4 pound of yellow clay.The teacher mixes the red clay and yellow clay together
Nataly [62]
Well, seeing as how she mixed the clay, she has a total of 2 2/8 pounds clay (unsimplified). Although we don't know how many students she has in one class, with simple division of this number we can figure out how many student can finish the project. Removing the 2/8, we can already tell 2 students can do it, so that's a start. Now to divide the 2 pounds into 8ths. Each pound is enough for 8 students, so the 2 pounds totals to 16. Now add the extra 2 students, it's 18 total students. Hope I explained it well enough!
