I would personally take the number three and trow it out the window but that's not what we are talking about
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
My approach was to draw out the probabilities, since we have 3 children, and we are looking for 2 boys and 1 girl, the probabilities can be Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy. So a 2/3 chance if you think about it, your answer 2/3 can't be correct. If we assume that boys and girls are born with equal probability, then the probability to have two girls (and one boy) should be the same as the probability to have two boys and one girl. So you would have two cases with probability 2/3, giving an impossible 4/3 probability for both cases. Also, your list "Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy" seems strange. All of those are 2 boys and 1 girl, so based on that list, you should get a 100 percent chance. But what about Boy-Girl-Girl, or Girl-Girl-Girl? You get 2/3 if you assume that adjacencies in the (ordered) list are important, i.e., "2 boys and a girl" means that the girl was not born between the boys.
It's likely that the event will occur.

Answer: the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry.
If comic books are bundled together in groups of 8, then the total number of comic books in x bundles of comic books would be 8x.
A box can hold a maximum of 60 comic books. Therefore, the inequality to find the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry is
8x ≤ 60
x ≤ 60/8
x ≤ 7.5
