..... 40.5 ...............
A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece
a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2
a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft
b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft
longest piece (c) = 27 ft
The probability of it happening once is 1/5, since 10/50 simplifies to 1/5. Because the ticket goes back in the bag, the probability stays constant at 1/5.
For it to happen twice, you multiply the probability of it happening once, twice.
1/5 • 1/5 = 1/25 probability of it being Gary's name twice in a row.
