<u>Answer:</u>

1/11

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that 4 cans filled with regular soda were labelled diet soda and placed in a 12 pack carton.

Two cans were picked randomly and we are to find the probability that both cans were of regular soda.

No. of cans with regular soda = 4

No. of cans with diet soda = 8

P (both cans regular soda) = 4/12 * 3/11 = 1/11

Answer:

Probability that both cans were regular soda =  \frac{1}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = \frac{Desired outcome}{Total possible outcomes}

We are given 12 total number of cans; 4 cans have been accidentally filled with diet soda.

Probability that first can is a regular soda:

Outcome that first can is a regular soda will give us the number of regular soda available which are 4

Using formula of probability

Total possible outcomes are, n(total) = 12

Desired outcome: 4 (cans of regular soda)

P(1st can) =  \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}

Probability that 2nd can is a regular soda:

<em>As we have already taken a can of regular soda from the pack, the total soda in the pack now 11 and the regular soda left are 3.</em>

Total possible outcomes are, n(total) = 11

Desired outcome: 3 (cans of regular soda as one has already been taken)

P(2nd can) =  \frac{3}{11}


Probability that both cans are regular soda:

P(both) = P(1st can) × P(2nd can)

             = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{3}{11}

             = \frac{1}{11}

(-0.25x -8)-(5.5x + 9.4) the simplified expression
Alja [10]

Answer:

=−5.75x−17.4

Step-by-step explanation:

=−0.25x−8+−1(5.5x+9.4)

=−0.25x+−8+−1(5.5x)+(−1)(9.4)

=−0.25x+−8+−5.5x+−9.4

another way >>>><<<<

=−0.25x+−8+−5.5x+−9.4

=(−0.25x+−5.5x)+(−8+−9.4)

=−5.75x+−17.4

Answer:

=−5.75x−17.4

Find the value of x.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

x=30

Step-by-step explanation:

a straight line is 180 degrees so to figure out x you would do 180-151 which equals 29 however if u plug 29 in for x it wouldn't work because (29-1) equals 28 and 151+28 do not equal to 180 degrees so x would equal 30 because (30-1) is 29

A "child has six blocks, three of which are red and three of which are green". How many patterns can shemake by placing them all
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: There are 20 ways and 1680 ways respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of blocks = 6

Number of red blocks = 3

Number of green blocks = 3

So, Number of patterns she can make by placing them all in a line is given by

\dfrac{6!}{3!\times 3!}\\\\=20

If there are 3 white blocks

so, total number of white blocks becomes 9

So, Number of total pattern she can make by placing all nine blocks in a line is given by

\dfrac{9!}{3!\times 3!\times 3!}\\\\=1680\ ways

Hence, there are 20 ways and 1680 ways respectively.
