Answer:

55/2574 ≈ 2.18%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 13 people on the council.

The probability that the first person is a Democrat is 8/13.

The probability that the second person is a Democrat is 7/12.

The probability that the third person is a Republican is 5/11.

The probability that the fourth person is a Republican is 4/10.

The probability that the fifth person is a Republican is 3/9.

The total probability is:

P = (8/13) (7/12) (5/11) (4/10) (3/9)

P = 56/2574

P ≈ 0.0218

There is a 2.18% probability of selecting two Democrats and three Republicans.

Can someone help me write the equations and solve, please.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Number 11: She has to add 5/36 of a cup

Number 12: The present costs $22,2

Number 13: 56,7 pounds is the weight of the package.

Number 14: You started with 40 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Number 11</u>: 1/4 = 9/36  and 1/9 = 4/36

3*1/4  -  3*1/9  = 3*9/36  - 3*4/36  = 5/36

<u>Number 12:</u> 13,32/x= 3/5 ( or 0,6)

x = 13,32/0,6 = 22,2

<u>Number 13:</u> x * 5/7 = 40,5

x = 40,5/ (5/7) or 40,5 * 7/5 = 283,5/5 = 56,7

<u>Number 14:</u> 12/x = 3/10 (or 0,30)

x= 12/0,30 = 40
