Answer:

<u>If A and B are independent events, P(A and B) = P (A) * P (B)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that independent events means that when one event occurs, it has no impact or influence on the probability of another event occurring. Here’s an example. Let’s say that we have two events, A and B.

Event A : it rains in Seattle

Event B : the Super Bowl match is cancelled in Miami

The two events are independent; if it rains in Seattle, this will have no impact on the probability that the Super Bowl match is cancelled in Miami. Raining in Seattle and the cancellation of the Super Bowl are independent events, therefore:

<u>P(A and B) = P (A) * P (B)</u>

Sally needs 2/3 of a pound of potatoes. This is 1/3 of a pound more than 4/3 of the potatoes Sally has in her pantry

amid [387]

Lets assume, Sally has X pound of potatoes in her pantry.

So, 4/3 of the potatoes Sally has in her pantry = $\frac{4}{3}X$

Now, Sally needs 2/3 pound of potatoes and this 2/3 pound of potatoes is 1/3 pound more than that $\frac{4}{3}X$

So the representing equation will be:

$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3}+ \frac{4}{3}X$

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} X$ (subtracting $\frac{1}{3}$ from both sides)

$\frac{1}{3}= \frac{4}{3}X$

$1= 4X$ (multiplying both sides by 3)

$X =\frac{1}{4}$

So, Sally has $\frac{1}{4}$ pound of potatoes in her pantry.
