The minimum number of socks that she needs to get such that a pair is always formed is 5.
<h3>
</h3><h3>
How many socks must she get to be ensured of having a pair?</h3>
We know that she has:
- 10 white socks.
- 10 black socks
- 10 brown socks
- 10 blue socks.
First, we need to compute the maximum number of socks she needs to take in such a case that no pair is formed.
That will be 4, and represents the case where:
1 white sock, 1 black sock, 1 brown sock, and 1 blue sock are drawn. At that point, no pairs are formed.
Now, if she draws another sock, a pair will always be formed.
From this, we conclude that if she draws 5 socks, always at least one pair will be formed.

Answer:
there was 3 pounds of raisins and 4 pounds peanuts.
Step-by-step explanation:
4 times 3 =12 and 2 times 4 = 8. 3+4=7 so 7 pounds. 12+8=20 so $20.
1 kg = 0.001 metric tons..so 14327 kg = (14327 * 0.001) = 14.327 metric tons
and if 1 metric tons saves 17 trees....then 14.327 tons saves : 14.327 * 17 = 243.559 saved trees...and since u cant have 0.559 trees, u would round to 243 trees
A/2-b/3=1 solve for a, add b/3 to both sides
a/2=1+b/3 which is equal to
a/2=(3+b)/3 multiply both sides by 2
a=(6+2b)/3 now you can substitute this into 2a+3b giving you:
2(6+2b)/3 + 3b which is equal to
(12+4b+9b)/3
(13b+12)/3
First and third, second can still be simplified.
