Let us say that x is the real height of the original hut, therefore we can establish the equation:

5 : x = 1.5 : 8

5 / x = 1.5 / 8

Solving for x:

x = 5 * 8 / 1.5

x = 40 / 1.5

<span>x = 26.67 ft</span>

a box contains 4 yellow, 5 green and 3 blue balls. find the probability of obtaining a yellow ball in a single random draw.

Alex

Notice that the box has a total os 4 + 5 + 3 = 12 balls, since there are 4 that are yellow, then, the probability to randomly obtaining a yellow ball in a single draw is:

$P(Yellow)=\frac{\text{ number of yellow balls}}{\text{total number of balls}}=\frac{4}{12}=0.33$

therefore, the probability is 0.33 = 33%
