Here is your answer:

The reason why the fraction -3 1/8 is a rational number is because its a fraction, it does not repeat, and also its a negative fraction.

Reason: Irrational numbers are more likely numbers with the pie equation for ex: √144 but it doesn't repeat which makes it a rational number.

Just remember that irrational numbers repeat.

Hope this helps.

stich3 [128]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that there are 10 marbles in a bag. 4 are blue, 3 are black, 2 are white and 1 is red.

The marbles are selected by not replacing the drawn ones.

We need to the probability of selected a black marble and then a white marble without replacement.

<u>Probability</u>:

Let B denote the black marble.

Let W denote the white marble.

The probability of selecting a black marble is $P(B)=\frac{3}{10}$

The probability of selecting a white marble without replacement is $P(W)=\frac{2}{9}$

The probability of selecting a black marble and then a white marble without replacement is given by

$P(B \ and \ W)=P(B) \cdot P(W)$

Substituting the values, we get;

$P(B \ and \ W)=\frac{3}{10} \cdot \frac{2}{9}$

$P(B \ and \ W)=\frac{6}{90}$

$P(B \ and \ W)=\frac{1}{15}$

Thus, the probability of selecting a black marble and then a white marble without replacement is $\frac{1}{15}$
