Answer:

Fraction of the people chose a tart = \frac{13}{45}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A group of people went to a coffee shop. Each person chose a

            drink  and a treat. number of people who chose coffee: number of  

            people who chose tea = 1:4. Of those who chose coffee,  number of  

            people who chose a muffin number of people who chose a tart =    

            2:7. Of  those who chose tea,  number of people who chose a muffin  

            : number of people who chose a tart = 5:1.

To find - What fraction of the people chose a tart?

Proof -

Let the Total number of People went to a coffee shop = 5x

Now,

As given, number of people who chose coffee: number of people who chose tea = 1:4

⇒Total number of people who chooses coffee = \frac{1}{5}.5x = x

  Total number of people who chooses tea  = \frac{4}{5}.5x = 4x

Now,

As given,

Of those who choose coffee,  number of people who chose a muffin number of people who chose a tart = 2:7

⇒Total number of people who choose muffin after coffee = \frac{2}{9}x

   Total number of people who choose tart after coffee = \frac{7}{9}x

Also,

Given that

Of those who chose tea,  number of people who chose a muffin : number of people who chose a tart = 5:1

⇒Total number of people who choose muffin after tea = \frac{5}{6}.4x = \frac{20}{6}x

   Total number of people who choose tart after tea = \frac{1}{6}.4x = \frac{4}{6}x

∴ we get

Total number of people who chooses tart = Total number of people who choose tart after coffee + Total number of people who choose tart after tea

⇒Total number of people who chooses tart = \frac{7}{9}x + \frac{4}{6}x

                                                                         = \frac{7}{9}x + \frac{2}{3}x

                                                                         = \frac{7x + 6x}{9}

                                                                         = \frac{13}{9}x

⇒Total number of people who chooses tart = \frac{13}{9}x

Now,

Fraction of the people chose a tart = \frac{People choose tart}{Total people}

                                                           = \frac{\frac{13}{9}x }{5x}

                                                           = \frac{13}{45}

⇒Fraction of the people chose a tart = \frac{13}{45}

Amar keeps picking playing cards out of a standard deck of 52 cards in the hopes that he will
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The required probability is, 0.78

Step-by-step explanation:

There are, (52 - 13) = 39 cards which are not spade

5 cards can be chosen from the deck of 52 cards in

^{52}{C}_{5}  ways

and out of these 5 choices, none of them will be spade in,

^{39}{C}_{5}  ways

So,

P(None of the chosen cards is spade)

= \frac {^{39}{C}_{5}}{^{52}{C}_{5}}

\simeq 0.22

Hence,

P(out of these 5 choices, at least one card is spade)

\simeq (1 - 0.22)

= 0.78

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

I have a weird way of doing it

so if 18 is 25%

18+18=36

then 36 would be 50%

36+36=72

so then 72 would be 100%

72*.25=18
