Answer:

\frac{3}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability refers to chance of occurrence of an event .

Formula of probability :

Probability = No. of favourable outcomes / Total no. of outcomes

Let E_1\,,\,E_2\,,\,E_3\,,... be the events and S denotes the sample space .

Properties of Probability :

1 . \sum_{i=1}^{n}P(E_i)=1

2. 0\leq P(E_i)\leq 1

Given :

P(Orange) = 2/5

P(purple) = 3/10

We know that  P(Orange ) + P(purple)  + P(white) = 1

So,

\frac{2}{5}+\frac{3}{10} + P(white) = 1

On transposing 2/5 and 3/10 on RHS , we get

P(white)  = 1-\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{10-4-3}{10}=\frac{3}{10}

White would be 3/10. Since orange is 2/5, it can also be written as 4/10 since 4/10 simplified would be 2/5. Also since you know purple is 3/10, so you must add what you know to get what you don't know. Orange 4/10 plus purple 3/10 would be 7/10. You would then subtract what the whole thing is worth which is 10/10. 10/10 minus 7/10 would be 3/10 which is the remainder of what is left which is white.

The recipe shows the amounts of three ingredients used to make trail mix.

A. Because you would have to find the common denominator, which in this case is 24. You would change 2 1/3 to 2 8/24, 1 1/8 to 1 3/24 and 1 3/4 to 1 18/24. Add these all up and you get 5 5/24.

If J/24 = K, then J/6 =
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

4K

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{J}{24} = K ( multiply both sides by 24 to clear the fraction )

J = 24K ( divide both sides by 6 )

\frac{J}{6} = 4K
