Answer:

option a)

0.286

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

number of red pens in cup = 5

number of black pens in cup = 10

number of pen randomly selected = 3

There are 5 red pens and 10 black pens. So there are 5 + 10 = 15 pens in all.

probability of having all red pens = (5/15 x 4/14 x 3/13)

                                                       = 2/91

probability of having all black pens = (10/15 x 9/14 x 8/13)

                                                           = 24/91

probability that all pen are of same colour = 24/91 + 2/91

                                                                      =  2/7

                                                                      ≈ 0.286

British columbia is about 1/11 of the size of canada. Vancouver island is about 1/29 the size of british columbia. What fraction
Irina18 [472]

well, BC is in Canada and is 1/11.

Vancouver is in BC and is 1/29 of BC.

so Vancouver is then 1/29 of 1/11, how much is that?  well, is simply their product.

\bf \cfrac{1}{29}\cdot \cfrac{1}{11}\implies \cfrac{1}{319}

Find the value of x in the given statement. The diagram is not to scale.
Evgen [1.6K]
Step One
Find RST
The two base angles are given as equal and one of the is 28. So is the other one.
SRT = 28
STR = 28
All triangles have interior angles that add up to 180 degrees.

RST + SRT + STR = 180
28 + 28 + RST = 180
56 + RST = 180 Subtract 56 from both sides.
RST = 180 - 56
RST = 124

Step two
Find the exterior angle
The exterior angle = Sum of the two remote interior angles (RST + SRT)
The exterior angle = 28 + 124
The exterior angle = 152

Step Three
Find the value of x
2*x = 152 Divide by 2
x = 152 / 2
x = 76

There is a quicker way of finding the exterior angle. I didn't see it until I had written step two.
The exterior angle + STR = 180 degrees. They are supplementary.
The exterior angle + 28 = 180
The exterior angle = 180 - 28
The exterior angle = 152
