Answer:

13/28

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

5 red ball
3 blue ball

<u>8 total balls</u>

p(r and r) = 5/8*4/7 = 5/14
p(b and b) = 3/8*2/7= 3/28

<u>Added up</u>

5/14 + 3/28 = 10/28 + 3/28 = 13/28

Probability of 2 same colored balls is 13/28

The cone in the diagram has the same height and base area as the prism. What is the ratio of the volume of the cone to the volum

Reika [66]

Answer:

$ratio=\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the cone

The volume of the cone is equal to

$V_c=\frac{1}{3}Bh$

where

B is the area of the circular base

h is the height of the cone

step 2

Find the volume of the prism

The volume of the cone is equal to

$V_p=Bh$

where

B is the area of the base of the prism

h is the height of the prism

step 3

Find the ratio of the volume of the cone to the volume oft the prism

$ratio=\frac{V_c}{V_p}$

substitute the values

$ratio=\frac{\frac{1}{3}Bh}{Bh}$

simplify

$ratio=\frac{1}{3}$
