Answer:

<h2>There is a 9% of chances that all three selections are apples.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 6 apples, 5 oranges and 1 pear, which gives a total of 12 fruits, that's total number of possible outcomes, the denominator of the simple probability.

Now, his friend selects three fruits with three trials without replacement, that means we need to find the probability of each even and then multiply them, because they are independent events.

P=\frac{6}{12} \times \frac{5}{11} \times \frac{4}{10}=\frac{120}{1320} \approx 0.09

Notice that we calculated the total probability using the same expression. The important thing is that you need to decrease the number of events and the total number of outcomes at each selection, because after his friends picks one apple, he doesn't put it back in the bag.

Therefore, there is a 9% of chances that all three selections are apples.

(We multiplies the number by 100 to express it in percentage)

What is the rate of 70 miles in 2 hours in unit rate
tamaranim1 [39]
You want one of the values in the ratio to be one for a unit rate. First, write out the ratio. It is 70 miles/2 hours. It's better not to include decimal numbers when you write a ratio when you can, so we're going to make the hours the unit rate. To make 2 -> 1 hour, divide both sides of the ratio by 2. 70/2 = 35. 
The unit rate is 35 mi./hr.
Hope that helped you.
