One possible probability is 1/10.
Since P(b) = 1/5, we know that there must be some multiple of 5 as the total number of markers.
There cannot be 5 markers in the box; if there is only 1 blue out of 5 markers, it is impossible for there to be any red markers and have a probability less than 1/5.
Using a total of 10 markers, there would be 2/10 blue to have a probability of 1/5. This means there would be 1/10 red. We know nothing about the number of green markers, so there can be as many as we want, in theory. This means the other 7 markers could be green.
Answer:
109.5 i hope this helps tell me if its right
Replace x with 5, and evaluate the expression.
Remember to follow the correct order of operations.
100 - 15x =
= 100 - 15 * 5
= 100 - 75
= 25
8x -3 = 2(x-1/2)
⇒ 8x -3= 2x -2*(1/2)
⇒ 8x -3 = 2x -1
⇒ 8x -2x= -1+ 3
⇒ 6x = 2
⇒ x= 2/6
⇒ x= 1/3
The final answer is x= 1/3~
