Answer:

The probability of that happening is 1/22

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the probability, you need to start by finding the probability for each step. The probability of the first one being red is the number of red marbles divided by the total number of marbles.

3 red / 12 total.

3/12

1/4

Now the chance that the second is white is the total number of white marbles divided by how many are left in the bag.

4 white / 11 left

4/11

Lastly, the chance of the last one being blue is the number of blue marbles divided by the amount of total marbles left after two pulls.

5 blue/ 10 left

5/10

1/2

Now to find the overall probability of all 3 happening, we multiply all 3 probabilities together.

1/4 * 4/11 * 1/2 = 1/22

Is 0 an integer ?<br> It wont let me post without making it longer
lina2011 [118]

Yes, it is. You may prove it using something like this: 1 is an integer. 1-1 is a difference between integers. A difference between integers returns an integer, so 0 is an integer.

Steve picks 55 pounds of pears. He packs an equal amount of pears into 6 bags. He then has 4 pounds of pears left. What is the w
Serggg [28]
Because he has 4 pounds of apples left, you are to subtract that from the total pounds picked, which was a total of 55 pounds. So 55 with 4 taken away, or 55 - 4, equals 51. Since he had equally put 51 pounds into six bags, you are to then divide . 51 / 6 = 8.5. He had put 8.5 pounds worth of apples into each bag.
