Julian walked 6/10 of a mile to his friends house and another 35/100 mile to the store. He walked 1/4 of a mile back home. Julia

AveGali [126]

The statement, "Julian's sister said he walked 1/5 mile" cannot be agreed because Julian totally walked $1\frac{1}{5} \text{ or } \frac{6}{5}$ miles.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that,

Julian walked 6/10 of a mile to his friends house
Another 35/100 mile to the store
He walked 1/4 of a mile back home

To find total distance walked by Julian we have to add the above stated values. That is, $\frac{6}{10} +\frac{35}{100} +\frac{1}{4}$

Factors of 10 = $5\times2$

Factors of 100 = $5\times2\times5\times2$

Factors of 4 = $2\times2$

Therefore, the least common factor of 10, 100 and 4 is 100. With like denominators we can operate on just the numerators,

$\frac{6\times10}{10\times10} +\frac{35\times1}{100\times1} +\frac{1\times25}{4\times1}\rightarrow\frac{60+35+25}{100}\rightarrow\frac{120}{100}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{120}{100}\rightarrow\frac{6}{5}$

Which can also be written as $1\frac{1}{5}$ .

So, from the above calculation it can be said that Julian walked $1\frac{1}{5} \text{ miles }$ .

A student needs to select 3 books from 3 different mathematics, 3 different physics and 1 history books. What is the probability

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Probability that one of them is mathematics and other two are either physics or history books = 0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A student needs to select 3 books from 3 different mathematics, 3 different physics and 1 history books.

To find - What is the probability one of them is mathematics and other two are either physics or history books ?

Solution -

Given that,

A student needs to select 3 books from 3 different mathematics, 3 different physics and 1 history books.

So,

Total number of books = 3 + 3 + 1 = 7

The student has to select 3 books

So, Total number of ways = $^{7} C_{3}$ = 35

So,

Probability that one of them is mathematics and other two are either physics or history books is -

= $\frac{^{3} C_{1}. ^{4} C_{2} }{^{7} C_{3}}$

= $\frac{(3)(6)}{35}$

= $\frac{18}{35}$

= 0.51

⇒Probability that one of them is mathematics and other two are either physics or history books = 0.51
