Answer:
the probability is 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the coins are randomly selected, the probability of pulling a dime first is the number of dimes (4) divided by the total number of coins (10).
p(dime first) = 4/10 = 2/5
Then, having drawn a dime, there are 9 coins left, of which 5 are nickels. The probability of randomly choosing a nickel is 5/9.
The joint probability of these two events occurring sequentially is the product of their probabilities:
p(dime then nickel) = (2/5)×(5/9) = 2/9

<em>Alternate solution</em>
You can go at this another way. You can list all the pairs of coins that can be drawn. There are 90 of them: 10 first coins and, for each of those, 9 coins that can be chosen second. Of these 90 possibilities, there are 4 dimes that can be chosen first, and 5 nickels that can be chosen second, for a total of 20 possible dime-nickel choices out of the 90 total possible outcomes.
p(dime/nickel) = 20/90 = 2/9
Answer:
97/40
Step-by-step explanation:
so 2.125= 17/8
3/10+17/8 need to find common denominator so
times 8/8 to 3/10
times 10/10 to 17/8
24/80+170/80= 194/80 (common denominator so can add)
divide 194/80 because want reduce form
97/40 is the answer
(When i look at it now i can just time 4/4 and 5/5 but its ok this still gets the answer)
7 1/5th is the anwser but thats easy your just being lazy i think
Answer:
144'
Step-by-step explanation:
Your ratio is 45'/5" or 9:1
9x4"=36'
9x3"=27'
45+36+36+27=144'
I believe this is the same answer as I gave previously.
