There are 15 pens and 10 pencils in a box. One object is selected at random and then replaced. Another is the selected. Find the

almond37 [142]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. P(pen then pencil) = 15/25 × 10/25 = 3/5 × 2/5 = 6/25

2. P(pen then pencil) + P(pencil then pen) = 6/25 + 6/25 = 12/25

3. P(pencil then pencil) = 10/25 × 10/25 = 2/5 × 2/5 = 4/25

4. P(at least 1 pen) = 1 − P(no pen) = 1 − 4/25 = 21/25

It takes 212121 minutes for 555 people to paint 777 walls. How many minutes does it take 333 people to paint 555 walls?

Papessa [141]

Solution: We are given that:

5 people can paint 7 walls in 21 minutes

Therefore, 1 person can paint 7 walls in $21 \times 5=105$ minutes

Which means 1 person can paint 1 wall in $\frac{105}{7} =15$ minutes

Now, 3 people can paint 1 wall in $\frac{15}{3} =5$ minutes

Therefore, 3 people can paint 5 walls in $5 \times 5=25$ minutes

Zepler [3.9K]

Using a system of equations, it is found that since the solution of the system does not involve decimal numbers, it is possible to arrange the books in this way.

For the system, we consider that:
