3 weeks = 21 days
Let Jerrad's vacation be X then Max's be 2X and Wesley's 4X
X+2X+4X=21
7X=21 devide by 7
X=3 so Jerrad had 3 days vacation
2*3= 6 Max had 6 days
4*3=12 Wesley had 12 days vacation

A bag contains x blue chips and y red chips. If the probability of selecting a red chip at random is 3/7, then x/y = ________.A.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

D. \frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a bag contains x blue chips and y red chips. The probability of selecting a red chip at random is 3/7. We are asked to find the \frac{x}{y}.

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

P(\text{Red})=\frac{\text{Number of red chips}}{\text{Total number of chips}}

P(\text{Red})=\frac{y}{x+y}

Since we are told that probability of selecting a red chip at random is 3/7, so red balls are 3 and total balls are 7:

P(\text{Red})=\frac{3}{x+3}

Since total balls are 7, so we will get:

x+3=7\\x=4

Upon substituting x=4\text{ and } y=3 in expression \frac{x}{y}, we will get:

\frac{4}{3}

Therefore, the value of \frac{x}{y} is \frac{4}{3} and option D is the correct choice.
