Answer:

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Red = 5

White = 6

Black = 9

Required

The probability of selecting 2 same colors when the first is not replaced

The total number of ball is:

Total = 5 + 6 + 9

Total = 20

This is calculated as:

P(Same)=P(Red\ and\ Red) + P(White\ and\ White) + P(Black\ and\ Black)

So, we have:

P(Same)=\frac{n(Red)}{Total} * \frac{n(Red) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(White)}{Total} * \frac{n(White) - 1}{Total - 1}  + \frac{n(Black)}{Total} * \frac{n(Black) - 1}{Total - 1}

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{5 - 1}{20- 1} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{6 - 1}{20- 1}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{9- 1}{20- 1}

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{4}{19} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{5}{19}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{8}{19}

P(Same)=\frac{20}{380} + \frac{30}{380}  + \frac{72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{20+30+72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{122}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}

1) Divide 3/4 by 1/2. Remember how to divide fractions. Switch the problem into a multiplication problem. 
<span>3/4 x 2/1 = 3/2 (so you could only have 1 and 1/2 servings with 1/2 pound of chicken in each serving. </span>

<span>2) Set up a little algebra problem. Let x = the multiplier of the original 3/4 pounds of chicken needed to make two full servings with 1/2 pound of chicken in each. </span>
<span>(3/4)x = 2(1/2)            (Found this online V(0-0)v)</span>

Find the ratio in simplest form.<br><br> 30:6<br><br> A. 1:5<br> B. 4:1<br> C. 5:1
nekit [7.7K]
ANSWER

The simplest form of the ratio
30:6
is

5:1


EXPLANATION

The ratio given to us is
30:6


We can divide each term in ratio by the same number.


To find the ratio in the simplest form we divide the terms in the ratio by their highest common factor, which is
6.


This implies that,

30:6 =  \frac{30}{6} : \frac{6}{6}


We simplify this to obtain,



30:6 = 5: 1


The correct answer is C.



Alternatively,


30:6 =   \frac{30}{6}


30:6 =   \frac{5}{1}


This implies that,


30:6 =   5:1
