First number assume A

Second number assume B

A= 1/3B ==> B= 3A

A+B = 48 ==> A+ 3A= 48

4A= 48 ==> A= 12

B= 3A= 36

There are 5 red pens and 10 black pens in a cup. If a person randomly selects 3 of them, what is the probability that they're al
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

option a)

0.286

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

number of red pens in cup = 5

number of black pens in cup = 10

number of pen randomly selected = 3

There are 5 red pens and 10 black pens. So there are 5 + 10 = 15 pens in all.

probability of having all red pens = (5/15 x 4/14 x 3/13)

                                                       = 2/91

probability of having all black pens = (10/15 x 9/14 x 8/13)

                                                           = 24/91

probability that all pen are of same colour = 24/91 + 2/91

                                                                      =  2/7

                                                                      ≈ 0.286

The total area of two square windows is 1,025 in.^2. each side of the larger window is 5 in. longer than the sides of the smalle
vampirchik [111]
The area of a square is expressed as:

Area = s^2

We are given the area of both windows. We will use this value for the calculations. We set s as the side of the larger window and a for the smaller window.

Total area = Area larger + area smaller
1025 = s^2 + a^2

Since it was said that the side of the larger window, s is 5 in longer than the side of the smaller window, a (s = 5+a) then:

<span>1025 = s^2 + a^2
</span>1025 = (5+a)^2 + a^2

simplifying we obtain,

a = 20 inches
