Answer:
14/33
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount of beads is 8+4 = 12. 8 of these are black beads, so that is what we want, so 8/12 or 2/3. For the second one, one black bead is already taken so 8-1 = 7 are left and for the total 12 - 1 = 11 are left, so 7/11. Multiply this by 2/3 and we get 14/33.

So just do the problem in that order.
Based on the two different purchases, you can write equations for the price of a hotdog (h) and that of a drink (d). These equations can be solved by your favorite method to find the individual prices.
... 6h +4d = 17.00 . . . . . . Carl's purchase
... 3h +4d = 12.50 . . . . . . Susan's purchase
We can see that the difference in purchase cost (of $4.50) is due entirely to the difference in the number of hotdogs (3). Thus, the price of a hotdog must be
... $4.50/3 = $1.50
The 4 drinks are then ($12.50 -4.50) = $8, so must be $2 each. You don't need to figure the cost of a drink to determine that the appropriate answer choice is ...
... D. $1.50 for a hot dog; $2.00 for a drink.
Answer:
3/6
Step-by-step explanation:
First subtract 8 from both sides
leaving you with x/2 = -20
Then multiply both sides by two to get rid of the denominator
which leaves you with x = -40
