Divide 1/2 by 1/8 by doing Keep change flip. 1/2 divided by 1/8 turns to 1/2 x 8/1 =9/2 and then divide 9/2 like this 9 divided by 2= 2 1/2
B. V=9
Multiply it out, then subtract 99 from both sides, then divide by 11
Factor 11 x^2 y^2 out of both the numerator and the denominator to get 2(11 x^2 y^2)/11x^2 y^2, which is clearly equal to 2.
Answer:
5:5 (first box, pencils to pens)
7:3 (second box, coloured pencils to crayons)
The probability of picking a pen (1st box): 5/10
The probability of picking a crayon (2nd box): 3/10
Probability of picking both: 5/10*3/10 = 15/100
