Probability can be expressed as a ratio of desired cases to the whole number cases possible.

So, there a total of 60 pieces of taffy and we want to know what are the chances of drawing a raspberry taffy. We know there are 18 pieces of taffy that are raspberry flavor.

We can express this as a ratio. 18:60.

Simplify.

18:60 = 3:10

Convert the ratio into a decimal. To do this, divide the top by the bottom.

3:10 = 0.3

Now make it into a percent. Just move the decimal point two places to the right and make into a % sign.

0.3 = 30%

So, there will be a 30% of drawing a raspberry flavored taffy piece.

if the speed of sound is 344 meters per second, what is the approximate speed of sound, in meters per hour?
choli [55]
Since we already know that the speed of sound is 344m per second, there are 60 seconds in one minute, and there are 60 minutes in one hour, we just multiply 344 by 60, giving us 20,640. Then we multiply 20,640 by 60 to get an answer of 1,238,400 meters per hour.

Find the polynomial f(x) of degree 3 with real coefficients that has a y-intercept of 60 and zeros 3 and 1+3i.
Sauron [17]

\bf \begin{cases} x=3\implies &x-3=0\\ x=1+3i\implies &x-1-3i=0\\ x=1-3i\implies &x-1+3i=0 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (x-3)(x-1-3i)(x-1+3i)=0 \\\\\\ (x-3)\underset{\textit{difference of squares}}{([x-1]-3i)([x-1]+3i)}=0\implies (x-3)([x-1]^2-[3i]^2)=0 \\\\\\ (x-3)([x^2-2x+1]-[3^2i^2])=0\implies (x-3)([x^2-2x+1]-[9(-1)])=0

[ correction added, Thanks to @stef68 ]

\bf (x-3)([x^2-2x+1]+9)=0\implies (x-3)(x^2-2x+10)=0 \\\\\\ x^3-2x^2+10x-3x^2+6x-30=0\implies x^3-5x^2+16x-30=f(x) \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{applying a translation with a -2f(x)}}{-2(x^3-5x^2+16x-30)=f(x)}\implies -2x^3+10x^2-32x+60=f(x)
