Answer:
About 41.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Given:</em>
<em>A bowl has 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes. Henry randomly chooses a grape, eats it, and then chooses another grape.</em>
<em>To Find:</em>
<em>What is the probability that both grapes are red?</em>
<em>Answer choices:</em>
<em>about 39.7%</em>
<em>about 41.5%</em>
<em>about 42.5%</em>
<em>about 44.5%</em>
<em>Solution:</em>
<em>Since, there are 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes, the total number of grapes is 23 .</em>
<em>As the red grapes are 15..</em>
<em>Thus,</em>
<em>The probability of choosing a red grape the first time is 15/23.</em>
<em>Because out of the total 23 grapes only 15 were red grape.</em>
<em>The probability of choosing the red grape the second time will be 14/22. Because the number of red grapes has already decreased by one and so is the total number of grapes after first choice</em>
<em>Hence, the probability of choosing or eating two red grapes will be :</em>
<em>15/23×14/22</em>
<em>=105/253</em>
<em>=0.415</em>
<em>= 41.5%</em>
<em>Therefore, the probability that both grapes are red is about 41.5%</em>
Change 4 feet to inches
4 feet is 48 inches
48-10=38
X - unit of length
w,l - the sides of a rectangle
7 : 2 ⇒ 7x : 2x
Perimeter: P = 207cm
Perimeter: P = 2w + 2l
therefore: 2w + 2l = 207 |divide both sides by 2
w + l = 103.5 (cm)
w : l = 7 : 2 ⇒ w : l = 7x : 2x ⇒ w = 7x; l = 2x
subtitute
7x + 2x = 103.5
9x = 103.5 |divide both sides by 9
x = 11.5 (cm)
7x = 7 · 11.5cm = 80.5cm
2x = 2 · 11.5cm = 23cm
w = 80.5cm; l = 23cm
Area = wl
Area: A = 80.5cm · 23cm = 1851.5cm²
