Answer:

i. 3/5

ii. 2/5

Explanation:

Solving the problem by any of the students A, B and C is an independent event as solution by one does not restrict the other one from solving

However, the problem will be solved if even one of them solves the question

Now Probability of not solving the question by A, B and C are

PA (not solving a problem) - 1-1/3 = 2/3

PB (not solving a problem) - 1-1/4 = 3/4

PC (not solving a problem) - 1-1/5 = 4/5

ii) Probability of not solving - 2/3*3/4*4/5 = 2 *1/5 = 2/5

i) Probability of solving - 1- Probability of not solving

= 1 - 2/5 = 3/5

Ellen has 20 feet of ribbon. She use12 feet of the ribbon to make pillows. She gives 1/4 of the ribbon to her friend. How many i
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Ellen gave 24 inches of her ribbon to the friend.

Explanation:

The total length of ribbon Ellen has = 20 feet

Used to make pillows = 12 feet

Remaining ribbon = 20-12 = 8 feet

Given to her friend = 1/4

1/4 of 8 = 1/4 × 8 = 2 feet

so she gave 2 feet of ribbon to her friend.

  • As there are 12 inches in 1 foot.

so

2 feet in inches = 24 inches

Therefore, Ellen gave 24 inches of her ribbon to the friend.
