Answer:

The odds of getting a green M&M  is \frac{1}{10} and  the probability of getting a green M&M  is \frac{1}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Red candies = 14

Blue candies = 10

Green candies =  5

Brown candies = 11

Orange candies = 3

Yellow candies = 12

Total No. of candies = 14+10+5+11+3+12 = 55

(a) the odds of getting a green M&M

Green candies = 5

Total number of candies excluding green or unfavorable = 50

Odds of getting a green M&M  = \frac{\text{favorable outcome}}{\text{Unfavorable outcomes}}

                                                   = \frac{5}{50}

                                                   = \frac{1}{10}

(b) the probability of getting a green M&M

Green candies = 5

Total No. of candies = 55

So,  the probability of getting a green M&M =\frac{5}{55}

                                                                        =\frac{1}{11}

Hence the odds of getting a green M&M  is \frac{1}{10} and  the probability of getting a green M&M  is \frac{1}{11}

30 feet below the surface of the water. You are ascending towards the
fomenos

Answer is slope of 5


Step by step


You can graph the slope as seen on the attached picture. You go up 30, you go right +6. Slope is y/x, so 30/6, equals 5



You can also use the slope formula


(y2-y1) over (x2-x1)


Using points on the graph


(6,0) and (0,-30)


(-30-0 ) over (0-6)


-30 over -6


-30/-6


= 5

Sergio [31]
Since both trains in total weigh 360 tons and train A weighs more than train be, it means that train B is the rest of the weight when you subtract train A from the total amount. Difference means subtraction so just solve this: 360-272 to get train B and you already know that train A is 272 tons. Please mark branliest!

At the county fair, Darius can purchase 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts for $11.33. He can purchase 9 candy apples and 5 ba
Ksenya-84 [330]
Let c represents the cost of a candy apple and b represents the cost of a bag of peanuts.

Darius can purchase 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 3c + 4b. Darius can buy 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts in $11.33,so we can write the equation as: 

3c + 4b = 11.33   (1)

Darius can purchase 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 9c + 5b. Darius can buy 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts in $23.56,so we can write the equation as: 

9c + 5b = 23.56   (2)

<span>Darius decides to purchase 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts. The total cost in this case will be 2c + 3b. To find this first we need to find the cost of each candy apple and bag of peanuts by solving the above two equations.

Multiplying equation 1 by three and subtracting equation 2 from it, we get:

3(3c + 4b) - (9c + 5b) = 3(11.33) - 23.56

9c + 12b - 9c - 5b = 10.43

7b = 10.43

b = $1.49

Using the value of b in equation 1, we get:

3c + 4(1.49) = 11.33

3c = 5.37

c = $ 1.79

Thus, cost of one candy apple is $1.79 and cost of one bag of peanuts is $1.49.

So, 2c + 3b = 2(1.79) + 3(1.49) = $ 8.05

Therefore, Darius can buy 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts in $8.05</span>
