Answer:

c. 6/15 = 10/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the hint, we can form the cross products of the offered choices:

a. 6(12) vs 9(9) ⇒ 72 vs 81 . . . not a proportion

b. 8(21) vs 16(10) ⇒ 168 vs 160 . . . not a proportion

c. 6(25) vs 15(10) ⇒ 150 vs 150 . . . IS A PROPORTION

d. 4(27) vs 14(6) ⇒ 108 vs 84 . . . not a proportion

The cross products are the same for choice C, so that is a pair of ratios that form a proportion:

6/15 = 10/25

Two boys and three girls are auditioning to play the piano for a school production. Two students will be chosen, one as the pian

finlep [7]

Answer:

30% is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boys = 2

Total number of girls = 3

Total number of students = 5

To find:

Probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl?

Solution:

Here we have to make 2 choices.

1st choice has to be boy (pianist) and 2nd choice has to be girl (alternate).

$\bold{\text{Required probability }= P(\text{boy as pianist first}) \times P(\text{girl as alternate})}$

Formula for probability of an event E is given as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

For $P(\text{boy as pianist})$ , number of favorable cases are 2 (total number of boys).

Total number of cases = Total number of students i.e. 5

So, $P(\text{boy as pianist})$ is:

$P(\text{boy as pianist}) = \dfrac{2}{5}$

For $P(\text{girl as alternate})$ , number of favorable cases are 3 (total number of girls).

Now, one boy is already chosen as pianist so Total number of cases = Total number of students left i.e. (5 - 1) = 4

$P(\text{girl as alternate}) = \dfrac{3}{4}$

So, the required probability is:

$\text{Required probability } = \dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{3}{10} = \bold{30\%}$
