The ration of white pair of socks and black pair of socks is 11:8 because Michael has already took one pair of the white socks so it's 11:8 between the two but to know the probability of one color you have to put it over the total amount of pair of socks so in total there are 19 now and 8 black pair of socks (were only looking for the probability of the black pair of socks and not the white)

8:19 is the ratio from black pair of socks to the total pairs of socks


You can also say 8/19 or 42% chance

Michael has already took white pair of socks, so that means that now in the drawer are left 11 pairs of white socks.

Therefore the propability of choosing a pair of black socks:
\frac{8}{19}

Georgia [21]

Answer:

9\pi \: \mathrm{ft^2\:or}\: 28.27 \mathrm{\: ft^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by r^2\pi where r is the radius of the circle. The diameter is given as 6 feet, so the radius of this circle is \frac{6}{2}=3 feet.

Plugging in our values, we get:

3^2\pi=9\pi\approx28.27.

Rolling a Red and Yellow Dice
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Option C 5/12 is correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the probability that shows yellow dice has a larger value than the red dice.

Probability= total no of favorable outcomes / total no of outcomes

in our case, considering the data set, we have to find those pair where value of yellow die is greater than the red die. Where (1,2) represents 1 on the red die and 2 on the yellow die

(1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

     (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

              (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

                       (4,5) (4,6)

                                (5,6)

These are the possibilities where yellow die has greater value than red die.

total no of favorable outcomes = 15

total no of outcomes = 36

probability that yellow die has greater value than red die = 15 / 36

                                                                                                = 5/ 12

Option C 5/12 is correct option

Please solve for me it's urgent. A rectangle has 10 and 6cm each. find the area of a square with the same perimeter as that of t
elena55 [62]

Answer:

64 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly,let us lay down the clues;

So, we have been given the Length and Width of the rectangle.

Rectangle;

<em>Length</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>10</em><em> </em><em>cm</em>

<em>Width</em><em>=</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>cm</em>

We know that

Perimeter= 2L + 2W

Perimeter= 10+10+6+6

Perimeter =32 cm

In the questionnaire, it is mentioned that a square has the same perimeter as the rectangle. That means, the perimeter of the square is similar to the one of the rectangle which is 32 cm.

So,

Perimeter of square =32 cm

Length of one side of the square =32÷4

=8 cm

Area= L × W

Area= 8 cm× 8 cm

Area= 64 cm²

Hope it helps.

your mother gave you 14.28 with which to buy a present. this covered 3/4 of the cost. how much did the present cost?
saul85 [17]

$19.04. If your mom gave you $14.28, and it only covered 3/4 of the cost, you have to first find 3/4 as a percentage, and then put it into a decimal. It would be 0.75. So then you have to divide 14.28÷0.75. It turns out to be $19.04.
