Papessa [141]

Complete question:

A bucket of candy contains 24 Jolly Ranchers, 18 Hershey Kisses, 12 packs of Smarties, and some Starburst. The probability of reaching in and pulling out a pack of Smarties is 1/6.How many Starburst are in the bucket?

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the following :

Number of jolly ranchers = 24

Number of Hershey kisses = 18

Number of smarties = 12

Number of Starburst = s

Probability of pulling out a smarties ; P(smarties) = 1/6

Probability = required outcomes / total possible outcomes

Required outcome = 12

Total possible outcomes = (24 + 18 + 12 + s) = 54 + s

P(smarties) = 12 / (54 + s)

1/6 = 12 / 54 + s

1 × (54 + s) = 12 × 6

54 + s = 72

s = 72 - 54

s = 18

Hence number of smarties = 18

What is the solution to the given inequality?
SashulF [63]

1/2 - 1/4x ≥ -1/4

Combine 1/4x to get x/4:

1/2 - x/4 ≥ -1/4

Subtract 1/2 from both sides:

-x/4 ≥ -1/4 - 1/2

Simplify:

-x/4 ≥ -3/4

Multiply both sides by 4:

-x ≥ -3/4 * 4

-x ≥ -3

Multiply each side by -1 ( and since you are multiplying by -1, you also need to reverse the inequality sign)

Answer: x ≤ 3
