It is like a ratio: the specific number of something over the total of everything. Say you have twenty colors, divided into red, purple, yellow, and green. There are five of each. The likelihood of picking red from all twenty is 4:16. It is the same for the rest. The number of something specific compared the to the total. If there is an uneven amount of something like four and six out of ten, the odds are different and there is a better chance that the six will be over the four.

The odds against each other in the picture is 5:15 because they are basically competing to be picked. The second number wouldn't be twenty because you aren't looking for the total but the likelihood something will be picked over another.

It has been a long time since I have done odds so be sure to ask about it.

A shopkeeper bought some eggs at ¢15 each. Six of them were broken while the rest were sold at ¢20 each. If he made a profit of
zvonat [6]
In the given problem it is already stated that the cost of each eggs is 15 cent. Out the total eggs bought 6 were broken. The rest of the eggs were sold for 20 cents each and the profit made was $4.80.
Cost of the 6 broken eggs = (6 * 0.15)
                                           = 0.9 cents
Let us assume that the number of eggs bought = x
Then we can write the equation as
0.2x - (0.15x - 0.9) = 4.80
0.2x - 0.15x + 0.9 = 4.80
0.05x = 4.80 - 0.9
0.05x = 3.9
x = 3.9/0.05
   = 78
So the number of eggs bought by him is 78

Answer:

You can decide where to put the first digit because you know 153 doesn't fit into 6 or 61. But you know it can fit into 613. You put it there.

Elenas bed measures 3‘ x 6‘ on the scale drawing what are the actual measurements of her bed
Sonbull [250]

Using proportions, supposing a scale of 1 inch = 3 feet, the actual measurements of her bed are given by: 9 ft x 18 ft.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and equations can be built to find the desired measures in the problem using basic arithmetic operations such as multiplication or division, from the relations built in the problem.

One example of application of proportions is for scale problems, as the actual scale and the drawing length are compared to find the actual length of the object drawn.

In the context of this problem, the scale is given by:

1 inch = 3 feet.

The drawn length of the bed is given by:

3 inches x 6 inches.

Hence the actual length is given by:

9 feet x 18 feet.

As:

  • 3 x 3 = 9.
  • 6 x 3 = 18.

<h3>What is the missing information?</h3>

The scale of the drawing is missing, hence we are going to suppose that it is 1 inch = 3 feet.
