What is P(A), the probability that the first student is a girl? (3/4)What is P(B), the probability that the second student is a girl? (3/4)What is P(A and B), the probability that the first student is a girl and the second student is a girl? (1/2)
The probability that the first student is a girl is (3/4), likewise for the 2nd 3rd and 4th it's still (3/4). The order you pick them doesn't matter.
However, once you're looking at P(A and B) then you're fixing the first position and saying if the first student is a girl what's the probability of the second student being a girl.
The present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the present age of Jane be "x"
Let the present age of her sister be "y"
<em><u>Jane is 5 times older than her sister</u></em>
present age of Jane = 5(present age of her sister)
x = 5y ---------- eqn 1
<em><u>In 3 years, Jane’s sister will be 1/4 her age</u></em>
Age of sister after 3 years = 3 + y
Age of jane after 3 years = 3 + x
Age of sister after 3 years = 1/4(age of jane after 3 years)

Substitute eqn 1 in above equation

Substitute y = 9 in eqn 1
x = 5(9)
x = 45
Thus present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old
Hello,
If multiplying by 1/4 makes a positive number smaller then dividing by 1/4 makes the number its being dividing to see how many times 1/4 can be put into that number. For Example,
2 / 1/4 = 8
1/4 can go into 2 eight times!
Hope This Helps!
Option "D" would be your answer.
