Answer: Our required probability would be 0.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of boxes = 2

Number of purple marbles in Box A = 30

Number of yellow marbles in Box A = 20

Number of purple marbles in Box B = 15

Number of yellow marbles in Box B = 35

So,  If Melanie randomly selects one of the boxes and then randomly selects one marble from that box.

Probability that the marble selected will be purple is given by

\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{50}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{15}{50}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{20+15}{50})\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{35}{50}\\\\=\dfrac{35}{100}\\\\=0.35

Hence, our required probability would be 0.35.

Answer:

-76

Step-by-step explanation:

A positive digit multiplied by a negative digit will result as a negative digit.

So,

6 · -8 = -48

Now if there is a problem where a number is added by a negative digit number, you turn the "plus" sign into a "negative" sign.

So,

- 48 + (- 28)

-48 - 28

If you subtract a negative by a negative, the answer will be negative BUT you have to ADD those two negative digits together and put the negative sign after.

- 48 - 28 = -76
