The number of ways you can pick 3 people from 9 = 9*8*7 / 3*2*1 = 84

So chance of picking the 3 suspects = 1 / 84.

The number of ways to pick 3 from the 6 innocent people = 6*5*4 / 3*2*1 = 20

Chances of picking 3 innocent people = 20 / 84  or 5/21

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Lenght = 18 inches

Width =15 inches

Perimeter of the rectangular painting and frame = 90 inches

Let X be the width of the frame

The width of the framed picture = 15 + 2x

The length of the framed picture = 18 + 2x

Perimeter = 2 (L + W)

90 = 2(15 + 2x + 18+ 2x)

90 = 2(33 + 4x)

90 = 66 + 8x

8x = 90 - 66

8x = 24

x = 24/8

x = 3 inches

the width of the frame is 3 inches
