Answer: 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that annie picks a duck Pt= the probability of picking a duck without accounting for the added one (Po)+ probability of picking the added bird and it's a duck(Pi)

Pt = Po+Pi

Since the total number of birds in the right pond is 10 after the addition of one by john

Po= 4/10

Pi= the of john adding a duck × the probability of annie picking the added bird

Pi= 4/9 × 1/10

Pi = 4/90

Pt= 4/10 + 4/90

Pt = (36+4)/90

Pt=40/90

Pt= 4/9

(This implies that the probability of picking a duck remain the same even after the addition of one bird from the left ponds because they both have equal proportions of duck and geese i.e the initial number of duck and geese in both right and left ponds are 4 and 5 respectively)

Thanks.

7 times the number of cookies in the jar plus 5 more from the tray is 54. How many cookies are in the jar?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The number of cookies in the jar is 7.

If we include the 5 cookies from the tray in the jar the total number of cookies would be 5 + 7 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Consider the number of cookies in the jar as 'x'. Hence the equation formed would be:-</em>

7(x) + 5 = 54

7x + 5 = 54

7x = 54 - 5

7x = 49

x = \frac{49}{7}

x = 7

The number of cookies in the jar is 7.

If we include the 5 cookies from the tray in the jar the total number of cookies would be 5 + 7 = 12

<em>Hope this helps.</em>
