Answer: \frac{17}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total number of caps = 80

The number of green caps = 12

Then , the number of caps which are not green = 80-12=68

If 1 of the 80 caps is selected at random, what is the probability it will NOT be green is given by :-

\text{P(Not green)}=\frac{\text{Caps not green}}{\text{Total caps}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{P(Not green)}=\frac{68}{80}=\frac{17}{20}

Hence, the probability it will NOT be green =\frac{17}{20}

Probabilit is positive events / total number of events

In this case the positive events is to pick a cap that is not green and the total number is 80 (the number of caps).

The number of not green caps is 80 - 12 = 68.

Then the probability the cap selected will not be green is 68 / 80 = 17 / 20

200 kg of brass is melted down and cast into ornamental frogs, each weight 3/20kg. How many frogs are made?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

1,333 frogs

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so we know that mass remains conserved no matter where you are.

same here ^^

if the total mass of brass is 200 kg

the total mass of the new frogs formed from it when put together will be the same :)

and if there were n such frogs formed

we have,

total mass = n × mass of each frog

200 = n × 3/ 20

n = 4000/ 3

so it becomes something like 1,333.33

that is nearly 1,333 frogs can be made out of 200 kg of brass each weighing 3/ 20kg (the last ones a bit less to make upto 200kg)
