Question

3. A large fruit dish with a 36 in. diameter is placed in the center of a banquet across and is completely filled with apples. The next ring has a 24 in. diameter and is completely filled with oranges. The outermost ring is completely filled with bananas. bananas oranges 6 in. 6 in. apples 6 in. 6 in. (a) What is the probability of randomly selecting an apple from the dish? Show your work. (b) What is the probability of randomly selecting a banana from the dish? Show your work. Answer:​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 11%

b) 56%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A= πr^2    6^2π= 36π    A= 18^2π = 324π

36π/324π = .111111111111111111111111 or 11%

b)   A= πr^2         18^2 π = 324π

     A= πr^2          12^2π = 144π  

              324 – 144  = 180

180π/324π = .5555555555555555555555556 or 56%
