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

What is the factored form of _________?
enyata [817]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression given is a difference of cubes and factors as

a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)

8x^{24} = (2x^{8})³ ⇒ a = 2x^{8}

27y^{6} = (3y²)³ ⇒ b = 3y²

Hence 2 factors are

(2x^{8} - 3y²) and

((2x^{8})² + (2x^{8} × 3y²) + (3y²)²)

= (4x^{16} + 6x^{8}y² + 9y^{4})

Hence the factored form of the expression is C

Montano1993 [528]

The books are $5, and the magazines are $10. I’m not sure which way you want it explained but since magazines are twice the price of books, you can solve the equation 3b + 2b = 25. This gives you b=5 which you just multiply by 2 giving you the price of a magazine.
