At a museum cafe you can get a pre-made boxed lunch with a sandwich, fruit, and drink for only . The sandwiches are made with ei

ther turkey or ham. The fruit is either an apple or an orange. The drink is either bottled water or juice. The number of boxes they make for every possible combination is the same. If you randomly choose one of the boxed lunches without knowing the contents, what is the probability you will get a turkey sandwich and a bottle of water in your box?

Answer:

1/8 or 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

So, I started solving this problem by writing all the possible options, then pairing them each up with a fruit and drink..

...But when I read the question again, I noticed I forgot to leave out the fruit, as this question states that you're trying to retrieve "a turkey sandwich and a bottle of water.."

Well, oof.

Despite that, I'm still giving this answer as if it never left out the fruit. So, let's see what we need to do.

To find all the possible lunch options, I started out by writing down one of our meats, Turkey. As per requested, I made every possible turkey combination that included a fruit and drink, which gave me this:

  • Turkey, apple and water
  • Turkey, orange and water
  • Turkey, orange and juice
  • Turkey, apple and juice

Same for the ham:

  • Ham, apple and water
  • Ham, apple and juice
  • Ham, orange and juice
  • Ham, orange and water

Putting these together, this gives up 8 different lunchbox combinations. If we're trying to get one and we randomly select it, then we have a 1/8 chance of grabbing the turkey sandwich and a bottle of water....

..and a fruit.

Hope this helped!

If you need me to show my work, just comment me and I will attach a screenshot!

Two number are in the ratio 5:6 and their sum is 44 .Use z as variable
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

the numbers are 20 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are in the ratio 5 : 6 = 5z : 6z , where z is a multiplier

The numbers sum to 44, thus

5z + 6z = 44

11z = 44 ( divide both sides by 11 )

z = 4

Hence

5z = 5 × 4 = 20

6z = 6 × 4 = 24

The two numbers are 20 and 24
