Well first I think you need to divided <span />
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Jill makes purses and backpacks.
Let x represent the number of foot of fabric required to make a purse.
Let y represent the number of foot of fabric required to make a backpack.
To make each purse,she uses 1 foot less than half the amount of fabric she uses to make a backpack. This means that
x = (y/2) - 1
Therefore, the amount of fabric that Jill needs to make backpack will be
y/2 = x-1
y = 2(x-1) = 2x - 2
The number of feet of fabric that she will use to make a purse is
x = (y/2) - 1
It wouldn't let me post, so I screenshotted:
Answer:



Step-by-step explanation:
Number of Men, n(M)=24
Number of Women, n(W)=3
Total Sample, n(S)=24+3=27
Since you cannot appoint the same person twice, the probabilities are <u>without replacement.</u>
(a)Probability that both appointees are men.

(b)Probability that one man and one woman are appointed.
To find the probability that one man and one woman are appointed, this could happen in two ways.
- A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
- A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.
P(One man and one woman are appointed)

(c)Probability that at least one woman is appointed.
The probability that at least one woman is appointed can occur in three ways.
- A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
- A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.
- Two women are appointed
P(at least one woman is appointed)

In Part B, 
Therefore:

the equation 2x-4-1+x would be the answer
Because 2x+x = 3x and -4-1 = 5, the result would be 3x-5
