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

The area of a rectangular concrete patio is 70 square meters. the perimeter is 34 meters. what are the dimensions of the patio?
Finger [1]
A = L * W
A = 70

70 = L * W

P = 2(L + W)
P = 34

34 = 2(L + W)
34/2 = L + W
17 = L + W
17 - W = L

70 = L * W
L = 17 - W

70 = W(17 - W)
70 = -W^2 + 17W
W^2 - 17W + 70 = 0
(W - 10)(W - 7) = 0

W - 10 = 0        L = 17 - 10
W = 10              L = 7

W - 7 = 0          L = 17 - 7
W = 7               L = 10

so either the width is 10 meters and the length is 7 meters OR the width is 7 meters and the length is 10 meters
