Answer:

40 socks

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 48 socks in total inside the drawer. 2 pairs of white socks means four white socks. The worst possible scenario (however unlikely it is) is that Laura takes all of the red, blue and green socks before picking any white sock. From that point on, Laura has to pick four more socks in order to have two white pairs. In this scenario, there are 8 socks left in the drawer, all white. Therefore, the minimum number of socks that Laura must take to be sure that she has two pairs of white socks is:

n=(12*4) - 8\\n=40\ socks

She must take at least 40 socks.

A sprinkler system is designed to water 5/8 acre of land in 1/4 hour. How many acres of land can it water in 1 hour?
Kryger [21]
Hi there!

If a sprinkler system can water 5/8 acre of land in 1/4 hour, it can water 20/8 acre of a land in one hour. When turned into a mixed number you get that it can water 2 & 1/2 acres of land in 1 hour.
