Answer:

20 apples, 32 pears

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a for number of apples and p for number of pears, you get a+p=52 (amount) and 0.4a+0.5p=24 (cost).

One way of solving simultaneous equations is using like terms and adding/subtracting them to remove a variable. There aren't any like terms here, but we can create some by multiplying terms.

Multiplying the second equation by 2 gives 0.8a+p=48, so that makes a like term.

Since the symbols are the same in front of the like term, we subtract the second term from the first one. This gives 0.2a=4.

Dividing by 0.2 gives a=20.

We can sub this into either equation to get the value of p.

a+p=52, so 20+p=52, meaning p=32.

**This content involves simultaneous equations, which you may want to revise. I'm always happy to help!

You roll two fair dice, one green and one red. (a) Are the outcomes on the dice independent? Yes No (b) Find P(1 on green die an
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

1) yes ; 2) 1/36 ; 3) 1/36 ; 4) 1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Two fair dice : 1 green ; 1 red

A) Are the outcomes on the dice independent:

Yes, becomes the outcome of the green dice does not have any effect on the outcome of the red dice.

B) Find P(1 on green die and 5 on red die).

Probability = (number of required outcome) / (total possible outcomes)

Total outcomes of a dice = 6

P(1 on green) = 1 / 6

P(5 on red) = 1/6

P(1 on green die and 5 on red die) :

(1/ 6) × (1/6) = 1/36

C) Find P(5 on green die and 1 on red die)

P(5 on green) = 1/6

P(1 on red) = 1/6

Find P(5 on green die and 1 on red die):

1/6 × 1/6 = 1/36

D) Find P((1 on green die and 5 on red die) or (5 on green die and 1 on red die))

P(5 on green die and 1 on red die) = 1/36

P(1 on green die and 5 on red die) = 1/36

P((1 on green die and 5 on red die) or (5 on green die and 1 on red die)) =

P(5 on green die and 1 on red die) + P(1 on green die and 5 on red die)

= (1/36 + 1/36) = 2 /36 = 1/18
