Total number of marble=18

probability of getting white marble = 2/18 =1/9

Now,

probability of not getting white marble = 1 - 1/9 = 8 / 9

Jake completed a marathon race in 3 hours and 12 minutes. What would be Jake's running time as a decimal?

VikaD [51]

$\text{Given that Jake completed a marathon race in 3 hours and 12 minutes.}\\
\\
\text{we need to find this time in decimals. so we will convert 12 minutes into hours}\\
\\
\text{We know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour. }\\
\\
\text{so in 1 minute there will be}=\frac{1}{60 }\text{ hour}$

$\text{hence in 12 minutes we have}=\frac{1}{60}\times 12=\frac{1}{5}=0.2 \text{ hours}\\
\\
\text{hence the Jake's running time is}=3\text{hours + 12 minute}\\
\\
=3\text{ hours}+0.2 \text{ hours}\\
\\
=3.2 \text{ hours}$
