Answer:

a = 24*1/3

a =8  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are using proportions to solve this problem by putting students over adults

students         3                   24

--------------- = ---------------  = -------------

adults                 1                   a

where a is the unknown number of adults

Using cross products

3a=24*1

Divide by 3

a = 24*1/3

a = 24/3

a = 8

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

\frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

3 envelopes having 2 red card

2 envelopes having 1 red card and 1 black card

1 envelope having 2 black cards

We are given that . An envelope is selected at random and a card is withdrawn and found to be red.

So, No. of ways of envelope having red card = 3+2 = 5

No. of required ways of envelope having 1 red card and 1 black card = 2

So, probability of getting an envelope having 1 red card and 1 black card = \frac{2}{5}

Hence The chance the other card is black is \frac{2}{5}
