Answer:

The likelihood is 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this we take the number of blue socks (2) and divide by the sample size. We can find the sample size by adding all of the socks that it could be. Since it must not be brown, we have to add blue to white.

2 + 8 = 10

So we divide blue by that number

2/10 = 1/5

Divide $500 in these ratios using the unitary method.<br> A. 2:3<br> B. 3:7 <br> C. 1:1

zysi [14]

Answer:

A) 200 is to 300 dollars

B)150 is to 350 dollars

C) 250 is to 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) We want to divide $500 in the ratio 2:3 using the unitary method.

The total ratio is 2+3=5.

This means one unit is $\frac{500}{5}$ =$100

Therefore $500 in the ratio 2:3 is 2*100=200 to 3*100=300

Part B) We want to divide $500 in the ratio 3:7 using the unitary method.

The total ratio is 3+7=10.

This means one unit is $\frac{500}{10}$ =$50

Therefore $500 in the ratio 3:7 is 3*50=150 to 7*50=350

Part C) We want to divide $500 in the ratio 1:1 using the unitary method.

The total ratio is 1+1=2.

This means one unit is $\frac{500}{2}$ =$250

Therefore $500 in the ratio 1:1 is 1*250=250 to 1*250=250
