Answer:
0.218

Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.
Probability = Expected outcome of event/ Total outcome
If a bag contains 3 red marbles, 7 blue marbles and 5 green marbles, the total number of marbles in the bag will be the total outcome i.e 3+7+5 = 15
If two blue marbles are drawn, the expected outcome in both cases is 7 since there are 7 blue marbles in the bag.
Probability of drawing the first blue marble = 7/15
Probability of drawing the second blue marble = 7/15
Probability that both marbles drawn will be blue = 7/15*7/15
= 49/225
= 0.218 (to nearest 1000th)

According to the properties of inequality, when should the inequality symbol be reversed when solving a two-step inequality in t
Svetllana [295]

Answer is when a is negative

To solve inequalities, you are trying to get the X variable by itself with a positive charge of 1. If the coefficient in front of it is negative, you must flip the sign in the other direction.

Example:

-3x < 9

divide each side by a negative 3. This means we have to flip the sign.

x > -3

A grocer wants to mix two kinds of candy. One kind sells for $1.15 per pound, and the other sells for
scZoUnD [109]

Hey there!

This grocer is mixing two kinds of coffee. I always love the smell of coffee!

We will say that x sells for $1.15 per pound and y sells for $2.75 per pound.

Altogether there are 24 pounds of coffee he is selling.

The algebraic equation would be x + y = 24

At $1.30 per pound, he will make 24 * $1.30 = $31.2

So, how many of the x and y kinds of coffee should he use to make the $1.30 per pound mixture which will net him $31.2?

The algebraic equation would be 1.15x + 2.75y = 31.2

We now have two equations :

x+y = 24

1.15x + 2.75y = 31.2

Substituting x= 24 -y in the second equation gives us

1.15(24-y) + 2.75y = 31.2

27.6 - 1.15y + 2.75y = 31.2

27.6 + 1.6y = 31.2

1.6y = 31.2 - 27.6

0.3y= 3.6

y= 2.25

x + y = 24

x + 2.25 = 24

x = 24 -2.25

x = 21.75

If y=2.25, then x= 21.75 as well.

So, he will use 21.75 pounds of the $1.15 per/lb one and another 2.25 pounds of the $2.75per/lb one.

~Done~
