There are 6 pockets all together. You checked two of them and it wasn't
there. So you can forget about those 2, and now there are 4 pockets left.
The total number of ways for your next try is 4.
The number that will be successful is 1.
The probability of success on the next one is <em>1/4 = 25% .</em>
=======================================================
Another method of solution, somewhat more complex:
Total number of pockets = 6.
Amount of money missing = $10
First partial sum, i.e. sum of numbers
in the first part of the problem = 6 + 10 = 16.
Total number of pockets = 6
Current value of cargo pants on a fashion scale from 1 to 10 = -2.
Second partial sum = 6 - 2 = 4.
Probability = (second partial sum) / (first partial sum) = 4/16 = <em>25% </em>.
Answer:
If you count the bottom layers that cant be seen, then it's 16 cubes.
The best way to find your answer is to divide 193 by 400 to get .4825 and to make sure if it is the answer you take 400 and multiply .4825 and it will be 193 so .4825 = 48.25%
The recipe calls for 5/8 cups butter and Angie wants to triple the recipe.
Therefore, if Angie is tripling the recipe, she is multiplying all of the ingredients in the recipe by 3.
So for the butter, this would be:
5/8 * 3 = 15/8
Next, we should turn this improper fraction into a mixed number so that we can compare it to the amount of butter that Angie has.
15/8 = 1 7/8
1 7/8 > 1 1/4
Thus, Angie DOES NOT have enough butter to triple the recipe.
