The probability that both items will be Harry Potter themed is 1/8.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Total Number of pajama pants n(P) =8

Total number of slippers n(S)= 3

Number of Harry Potter themed Pajama pants n(H.P)=3

Number of Harry Potter themed slippers n(H.S)=1

We have to determine the probability of selecting pants and slippers that are both Harry Potter themed.

If two events A and B are independent, then the probability of A and B is given by

P(A and B)=P(A)*P(B)

Here the events selecting Harry potter themed pants and selecting harry Potter themed slippers are independent.

P(Harry\ Potter\ pants)=\frac{n(H.P)}{n(P)}

                                       =\frac{3}{8}

P(Harry\ Potter\ slippers)=\frac{n(H.S)}{n(S)} \\                                         =1/3

P(Harry\ Potter\ pants\ and\ Harry\ Potter\ slippers)=P(Harry Potter pants)\times P(Harry potter slippers)

=\frac{3}{8}\times  \frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{8}

Hence probability of selecting Harry potter themed pants and Harry potter themed slippers is 1/8

ASHA 777 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - x = 2x

2(x + 2) = 2x + 2

for every number of x, 2x + 2 would always be larger than 2x.

so there is no solution, since the given equation is 2x is greater than 2x + 2.

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

4 umbrellas

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Umbrellas              Total Money

                1                                            $12                

                2                                           $24

                3                                           $36

                4                                           $48

She can't go over $48 because $48 + $12 is $60, which is more than she has ($54). So the max amount of umbrellas she can buy is 4.
