X would be 24.

1/4=6 , so 6*4 would be X.

$\frac{1}{4}$ of x would be equal to 1/4x, which is 6.

To find x, multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate x, since 1/4 multiplied by four is one. 6(4) is equal to 24, so you would end up with the equation x = 24.

A small grocery store had 10 cartons of milk, 2 of which were sour. If you are going to buy the 6th carton of milk sold that day

Answer:

The probability that the sixth customer buys sour milk is $\frac{1}{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The grocery store has a total of 10 cartons of milk.

The number of cartons of milk that are sour is, 2.

If none of the sour cartons of milk were bought by the first 5 buyers, then the probability of this event is:

P (Both the sour cartons are available to be sold to the sixth customer)

= $P(2\ sour\ cartons)=\frac{2}{5}$

If only one sour carton of milk is sold to the first 5 buyers then the probability is:

P (Only one sour cartons is available to be sold to the sixth customer)

= $P(1\ sour\ cartons)=\frac{1}{5}$

If both the sour carton of milk is sold to the first 5 buyers then the probability is:

P (None of the sour cartons is available to be sold to the sixth customer)

= $P(0\ sour\ cartons)=\frac{0}{5}$

Compute the probability that the sixth customer buys sour milk:

= P (Both sour milk is available for the 6th customer) +

P (Only one sour milk is available for the 6th customer) +

P (None of the sour milk is available for the 6th customer)

$=\frac{{8\choose 5}{2\choose 0}}{{10\choose 5}} \times\frac{2}{5} +\frac{{8\choose 4}{2\choose 1}}{{10\choose 5}} \times\frac{1}{5} +\frac{{8\choose 3}{2\choose 2}}{{10\choose 5}} \times\frac{0}{5} \\=\frac{56\times2}{252\times5} +\frac{140\times1}{252\times5} +0\\=\frac{1}{5}$
