So, there will be 40 green cars. if we want the ratio to be 1:3, we will need there to b three times as many silver cars as green cars: 40*3=120.
we already have 20 silver, so we need to add 120-20, that is 100 silver cars!
Change the information into an equation and do sequence. pull out any necessary information.
y = 2x + 1
starts at 1... so your first sequence is 1.
plug in x=1 then it becomes 3. then the next sequence you plug in 3 (, the answer to your previous solve) you get 7. continue to do this. next sequence you plug in x=7 into the equation y = 2x + 1.
thus, y = 2(7) + 1 =15... so forth...
therefore the answer is B.
Hope this helps :)
<span>3 of the 20 toothbrushes are defective, so the initial probability of selecting a defective toothbrush on the first try is 3/20. After that, there will be 2 defective toothbrushes in the remaining 19, so the probability of selecting one of those on the 2nd try will be 2/19. To get the probability of those two events happening sequentially, we multiply the two probabilities. Thus (3/20)*(2/19) = 6/380 = 0.0157, or about 1.6%.</span>
Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom.
