I'll do the first problem to get you started

-----------------------------------------------------------

Part A

There are 9 red and 9 blue.

The worst case scenario is that she selects 3 red in a row. This means that to be guaranteed to have 3 blue, she must select 3+3 = 6 balls.

It is possible that the first three could be blue, but it likely won't be the case. It's best to plan for the worst case scenario.

<h3>Answer: 6</h3>

-----------------------------------------------------------

Part B

The worst case scenario is that she pulls out say a red ball, then a blue, then red, and so on. The alternating color selections mean that we don't have three balls of the same color until we get to selection 5.

We could write the sequence like this

RB RB B

or like this

RB RB R

and we see that regardless of what the fifth selection is, we are guaranteed to have three of the same color. The first four items don't really matter. We could have RB changed to BR and it would be the same idea.

<h3>Answer: 5</h3>

To practice for a competition, Sonya swam 0.94 kilometer in the pool each day for 3 weeks. How many meters did Sonya swim in tho
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Distance swam by Sonya in 3 weeks = 19740 m

Step-by-step explanation:

To practice for a competition, Sonya swam 0.94 kilometer in the pool each day for 3 weeks.

Number of days in 1 week = 7

Number of weeks she swam = 3

Total number of days she swam = 3 x 7 = 21 days

Distance swam per day = 0.94 km

Total distance swam = Total number of days she swam x Distance swam per day

Total distance swam = 21 x 0.94 = 19.74 km = 19.74 x 1000 m = 19740 m

Distance swam by Sonya in 3 weeks = 19740 m
