Alice has a bag of marbles consisting of 9 green marbles, 7 red marbles, 3 white marbles, and 6 yellow marbles. If she picks 2 o

1. When solving similar problems, a tree diagram is a very useful method. Check the picture below for the solution of A:

the first pick can be either of the colors g, r, w or y, with a chance of 9/25, 7/25, 3/25 and 6/25 respectively.

After the first marble is yellow, now the second can be either of g, r, w, or y with chances 9/24, 7/24, 3/24, and 5/24 respectively.

Notice that the total number for the second choice is 25-1=24, since one is gone. In our case, one yellow, (this is why we now have 5/24)

So the P( that 1st is yellow, second is white) = (6/25)*(3/24)=3/100

B. P(both red)= (7/25)*(7/24)=49/600

C. P(1st red)=7/25
     P(green, after replacement)=9/25
     P(1.red,2.green)=(7/25)*(9/25)=63/625

If 60% of a KNOWN NUMBER is 180, what is the 40% of that UNKNOWN NUMBER?
Lana71 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you mean you want to find out 40% of a number,, when 60% of it is 180, so I'll answer that:

60% = 180

÷6

10% = 30

x4

40% = 120

(if you want to find 100%, multiply 30 by 10)

Hopefully this helps :)

I dont know how to set it up. #20 solving equations with variables on both sides.
Gnoma [55]
First lets create an equation for each:

1) Cost = 5x + 60
2) Cost = 11x

Where x is the number of lessons.

Since we want to find the value of x (the number of lessons), we can set both equations equal to each other:

5x + 60 = 11x

Subtract 5x from both sides:

60 = 6x

Divide by 6:

x = 10
So it will take 10 lessons till a member and a nonmember pay the same amount.

Can the sum of two mixed fractions be less than 1?? Why or why not
stich3 [128]
Yes, because the mixed numbers could be a negative number like -1 1/2 plus -2 1/2 which would be -4 and -4 is less than one.
