Answer:

0.62

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 10 marbles in the bag.

P(blue and not blue) = 5/10 × 5/10 = 25/100

P(red and not red) = 2/10 × 8/10 = 16/100

P(green and not green) = 3/10 × 7/10 = 21/100

P = 25/100 + 16/100 + 21/100

P = 62/100

P = 0.62

Alternatively, you can calculate it this way:

P(both blue) = (5/10)² = 25/100

P(both red) = (2/10)² = 4/100

P(both green) = (3/10)² = 9/100

P = 1 − (25/100 + 4/10 + 9/100)

P = 1 − 38/100

P = 62/100

P = 0.62

Clay is filling 6.5 bottle of salsa, He was able to fill 7.5 bottles. How many ounce of salsa did he have? Draw an area model to

VMariaS [17]

Answer: He had 48.75 oz of salsa.

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess that Clay is filling 6.5 oz bottles of salsa.

And we know that he was able to fill 7.5 of these bottles, then if each bottle has 6.5 oz, 7.5 of them have a total mass of salsa will be equal to 7.5 times 6.5 ounces, this is:

M = 7.5*6.5 oz = 48.75 oz

This means that Clay had 48.75 ounces of Salsa

A drawn model to show this is seen below.

Each big square represents 0.5 oz, and the area black delimited area represents a total amount of 6.5 oz, we have 7 of them, then you can draw that 7 times, and count the squares, and then you will find the total ounces of salsa that Clay had, which is equivalent to the multiplication we did above.
