Answer:

160 total beads

Step-by-step explanation:

so if 1/4 of the beads are red, then 3/4 of them are not.....so 3/4 is the remainder of beads.....and 3/5 of the remainder are yellow....so 3/5 of 3/4 =

3/5 * 3/4 = 9/20...so 9/20 are yellow.....and the rest (48) are blue.

1/4 + 9/20 = 5/20 + 9/20 = 14/20 reduces to 7/10...so 7/10 of the beads are red and yellow

so if 7/10 of the beads are red and yellow, then 3/10 are blue

3/10 of what number is 48

3/10x = 48

x = 48 * 10/3

x = 480/3

x = 160

let me check it..

1/4 are red......160 total beads.....so red beads = (1/4 * 160) = 160/4 = 40

3/5 of the remainder is yellow.....so 3/5 of (160 - 40) = 3/5(120) = 72 yellow

and then u have 48 blue...

40 + 72 + 48 = 160

so there are 160 total beads.......40 red, 72 yellow, and 48 blue <===

Use the relative frequency approach to estimate the probability of the event. In a certain class of students, there are 8 boys f
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

P\text{Student will be from Kenilworth}\approx 0.256

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that that there are 8 boys from Wilmette, 5 girls from Kenilworth, 9 girls from Wilmette, 5 boys from Glencoe, 5 boys from Kenilworth and 7 girls from Glenoce.

The total number of students from Kenilworth is 5 boys plus 5 girls that is 10 students.

The total number of students in the class would be 8+5+9+5+5+7=39

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}

P\text{Student will be from Kenilworth}=\frac{\text{Number of student from Kenilworth}}{\text{Total number of students}}

P\text{Student will be from Kenilworth}=\frac{10}{39}

P\text{Student will be from Kenilworth}=0.2564102564

P\text{Student will be from Kenilworth}\approx 0.256

Therefore, the probability, that the student will be from Kenilworth, is approximately 0.256.

To amend U.S. Constitution, 3/4 of the 50 states must approve the amendment. If 35 states approve an amendment, will the Constit
Elodia [21]
To answer the question we need to know if 35 out of 50 states is equal or greater than 3/4 if that is the case, the Constitution will be ammended, and that is represented like this:
35/50 >= 3/4
that inequality is saying that 35 states out of 50 is equal or greater than 3/4, lets simplify and modify the fractions to compare easily:
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>now we need to find the least common multiplier of 10 and 4 to take the fractions to a common denominator and compare easy. Lets multiply numerator and denominator for a correct number to get the fractions to denominator common 20, the lcm:
7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>(2/2)(7/10) >= (5/5)(3/4)
2*7/2*10 >= 5*3/5*4
14/20 >= 15/20
we can see that the inequality does not hold, so,
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended
