Answer:

3:6:4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Number of apples in the basket=12

Number of pears in the basket=24

Number of oranges in the basket=16

We have to find the ratio of apples, pears and oranges in the  basket.

12=4\times 3

24=4\times 3\times 2

16=4\times 2\times 2

HCF (12,24,16)=4

Now, divide each number by HCF

Then, we get

3:6:4

Therefore, the ratio of apples, pears and oranges in the  basket.

3:6:4

Meryl needs to add enough water to 11 gallons of an 18% detergent solution to make it a 12% detergent solution. which equation c
Sliva [168]

The problem is about adding water to detergent solution to make a detergent solution.

In the problem g is taken for the number of gallons of water.

So, we can rephrase the given problem in simple words as

g gallons of water is added to  11 gallons of 18% detergent solution to get 12% detergent solution.

Let us write it in form of an equation,

g gallons of water is being added to 11 gallons of solution.

The total amount of solution will be (11 + g) gallons.

11 gallons of 18% detergent solution = 12% detergent solution.

For percent we can write over 100.

Therefore, above equation can be written as

11 × 18/100 = 12/100(g+11)

11 time 18 = 198

Therefore,

198/100 = 12/100(g+11)

Converting 198/100 into decimals, we get 1.98

We can rewrite above eqaution as

1.98 =12/100(g+11)

Dividing both sides by (g+11), we get

\frac{19.8}{g+11}=\frac{12}{100}

Therefore, correct option is D. 1.98/11+g = 12/100.

If P(A)= 0.3 and P(B|A)=0.9 what is P(A B)?
Serga [27]
You seem to be missing a symbol, which I assume is intersection \cap.

From the definition of conditional probability,

\mathbb P(B|A)=\dfrac{\mathbb P(B\cap A)}{\mathbb P(A)}\implies0.9=\dfrac{\mathbb P(B\cap A)}{0.3}\implies\mathbb P(B\cap A)=0.27
