Answer:
First blank - A)Total Number of Possible Outcomes
Second blank - B)Number of Winners
Step-by-step explanation:
The exact question is as follows :
We know that,
Probability of an event is equals to Total number of Favorable outcomes divided by Total number of outcomes
So,
P(event) = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total Number of Possible Outcomes
As we have to predict the Number of winners of a game
So,
P(Number of winner) = Number of winners ÷ Total number of Contestants
∴ we get
P(event) = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total Number of Possible Outcomes
= Number of winners ÷ Total number of Contestants
Let D be Daniel's present age, then we can represent Kevin's present age as 3D because Kevin is 3 times as old as Daniel.
We can write an expression for Daniel's age 4 years ago as D-4 and Kevin's age 4 years ago as 3D-4.
We are told that 4 years ago Kevin was 5 times as old as Daniel. We can write this information as:
Now let us solve our equation to find Daniel's present age.
Daniel's present age is 8 years. Now we will multiply 8 by 3 to get Kevin's present age as Kevin is 3 times old as Daniel.
Therefore, Kevin is 24 years old now.
