Sold 2/5 in the morning.....leaving 3/5
he sold 3/4 of 3/5 in the afternoon......3/4 * 3/5 = 9/20

2/5 = 8/20
9/20 - 8/20 = 1/20...so he sold 1/20 more in the afternoon.
so if 1/20 = 24, then 20/20 = 24*20 = 480

so he started with 480 cartons

Answer:

b/(b+a)

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/a)-(1/b) :[ (b²-a²)/ab²]

first  solve :

common denominator ab

(1/a)-(1/b)  = (b-a)/ab

[b-a/ab] : [(b²-a²)/ab²]

when divide fraction ( division sign turn to (×) and flip the second fraction(reciprocal):

[b-a/ab] × [ab²/ (b²-a²)]

then  simplify : ab²/ab = b

(b-a)×(b/b²-a²)    

factorize : b²-a² = (b-a)(b+a)

(b-a)×(b/(b-a)(b+a))  simplify : (b-a)/b-a = 1

[(b-a)(b)]/[(b-a)(b+a)

b/b+a

diamong [38]

Answer:

A.

\dfrac{6}{55}

B.

\dfrac{6}{55}

C.

\dfrac{4}{165}

Step-by-step explanation:

Dustin has a bag of marbles with 4 blue marbles, 4 white marbles, and 3 red marbles. There are 11 marbles in total.

A. The probability that the first marble drawn is blue marble is

\dfrac{4}{11},

the probability that the second marble drawn is red marble is

\dfrac{3}{10}

The probability that the first marble drawn is blue and the second is red is

\dfrac{4}{11}\cdot \dfrac{3}{10}=\dfrac{12}{110}=\dfrac{6}{55}

B. The probability that the first marble drawn is red marble is

\dfrac{3}{11},

the probability that the second marble drawn is white marble is

\dfrac{4}{10}

The probability that the first marble drawn is red and the second is white is

\dfrac{3}{11}\cdot \dfrac{4}{10}=\dfrac{12}{110}=\dfrac{6}{55}

C. The probability that the first marble drawn is blue marble is

\dfrac{4}{11},

the probability that the second marble drawn is blue marble is

\dfrac{3}{10},

the probability that the third marble drawn is blue marble is

\dfrac{2}{9},

The probability that the first, second and third marbles drawn are blue is

\dfrac{4}{11}\cdot \dfrac{3}{10}\cdot \dfrac{2}{9}=\dfrac{24}{990}=\dfrac{4}{165}
