21 = 39

—. —

17.5 Y

21y= 682.5

Y=32.5

ANOTHER WAY TO SOLVE IT IS...

Y=kx

17.5=k*21

.833=k

Sooooo

Y=kx

Y=.833*39

Y=32.5

direct proportion y=kx , k is constant and k does not equal to 0.

17.5=k(21)

k=5/6

when x =39

y=5/6 ×39

y=32.5

A bag contains five yellow tickets numbered one to five. The bag also contains five green tickets numbered one to five. You rand

The probability of picking a ticket that is green or has a number greater than four is 3/5

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Yellow = 1 - 5

Green = 1 - 5

Total = 10

There are 2 cards whose numbers are greater than 4 i.e. Yellow 5 and Green 5

So, we have:

P(Number greater than 4) = 2/10

There are 5 green cards.

So, we have:

P(Green) = 5/10

Also, 1 green card is numbered greater than 4

So, we have:

P(Green greater than 4) = 1/10

The required probability is:

P = P(Green) + P(Number greater than 4) - P(Green greater than 4)

This gives

P = 5/10 + 2/10 - 1/10

Evaluate

P = 6/10

Simplify

P =3/5

Hence, the probability of picking a ticket that is green or has a number greater than four is 3/5
