A: x/8=3/4 B: 2/5=x/40 C: 1/8=x/40 D:x/10=12/15

1 answer:

4 0

I’m assuming you want to figure out what x is in the equation so....

6/8=3/4
2/5=16/40
1/8=5/40
8/10=12/15

I hope this helps.

The access code for a garage door consists of three digits. Each digit can be any number from 1 through 5, and each digit can b

Papessa [141]

Answer:

(a) 125

$(b) \dfrac{1}{125}$

$(c) \dfrac{124}{125}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that access code consists of 3 digits.

Each digit can be any digit through 1 to 5 and can be repeated.

Now, this problem is equivalent to the problem that we have to find:

The number of 3 digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1 to 5 with repetition allowed.

(a) We have 3 places here, unit's, ten's and hundred's places respectively and each of the 3 places have 5 possibilities (any digit allowed with repetition).

So, total number of access codes possible:

$5\times 5 \times 5 = 125$

(b) Suppose, an access code is randomly selected, what is the probability that it will be correct.

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

Here, only 1 code is correct, so

Number of favorable cases = 1

Total number of cases = 125

So, required probability:

$P(E) = \dfrac{1}{125}$

$P(\overline E) = 1-P(E)\\\Rightarrow P(\overline E) = 1-\dfrac{1}{125}\\\Rightarrow P(\overline E) = \dfrac{125-1}{125}\\\Rightarrow P(\overline E) = \dfrac{124}{125}$
