Answer:
I don't know why this always happens to me it looks black can u ask the question and I will answer
I don’t understand the question so I answer in two ways
<span><span><span>Let the original number be "x".
(x-10)/4 = 2
x-10 = 8
x = 18 (original number of pieces of candy.)</span></span></span>
All socks together: 13
Black socks: 3
Probability to pick out black socks: 3/13
After one pick out (You picked out a pair of black socks):
Probability to pick out black socks: 2/12
Multiply them:
2/12 * 3/13 = 1/26 ≈ 0,038
1/100, 1/400, 1/500
Because the numerators are the same, we just need to compare the denominators.
100< 400< 500
⇒ 1/100 > 1/400 > 1/500
Therefore, the highest value is 1/100.
Hope this helps.
