There are two choices for each child: overweight (o) or underweight (u). So if the first child is o the next can be o or u. If the first is u the second can be o or u. This gives four possibilities. Here the first child is the letter noted first and the second is the one listed second:
OO
OU
UO
UU
There are 4 outcomes and if each is equally likely then the probability of each is 1/4. Thus the probability of UU is 1/4
The probability of one underweight and one over weight is 1/2 because in two of the outcomes listed above there is one O and one U (namely OU and UO). Since there are 4 outcomes the probability is 2/4 = 1/2
See56.7 cause it is the correct one to the 20th
12 cups because there are 2 cups in a pint and 2 pints in a quart
We are first ask to translate this equation. So using the correct notation...
3X-9=6x6/4
We can also solve it.
3x-9 = 6x6/4
3x-9 = 36/4
3x-9 = 9
3x = 18
x=6
answer: X=6
