12. A drawer contains 2 red socks, 6 white socks,

Mathematics

777dan777 [17]2 years ago

Answer:

Probability that first sock is blue is 0.33 and Probability that second sock is red is 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red socks = 2

Number of white socks = 6

Number of blue socks = 4

Total socks in drawer = 2+6+4 = 12

The formula used to calculate probability is: Probability=\frac{Number \ of \ favourable \ outcomes}{Total \ number \ of  \ outcomes}

We are given you draw out a  sock, return it, and draw out a second sock.

We need to find the probability that the first sock is blue and the  second sock is red?

Using formula:

Probability that first sock is blue = 4/12 = 1/3 = 0.33

Probability that second sock is red = 2/12 = 1/6 = 0.16

So, Probability that first sock is blue is 0.33 and Probability that second sock is red is 0.16

5(y + 2/5) = -13<br><br> Solve for y<br><br> Show or explain your method
Natalija [7]
Step 1. Multiply 5 by y and you get 5y
Step 2. Multiply 5 by .4(2/5)
Step 3. Your equations will look like 5y+2=-13
Step 4. Subtract 2 from its self and -13
Step 5. Your equation will be 5y=-15
Step 6. Divide 5 from both sides
Step 7. Your answer is y=-3

The product of two positive integers is 176. One number is 5 more than the other. Find the smaller number.
svlad2 [7]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

11



Discussion:

Let "n" be the smaller number. Then

n * (n+5) = 176.


My first reaction to this problem was to factor 176 in my head. That's  176 = 16 * 11 and 16 is 5 more than 11. So that's the solution!.... Now let's solve it using the brute force approach:

n(n+5) = 176                 =>

n^2 + 5n - 176 = 0       => use the quadratic formula


n =     ( -5 +\- sqrt( 5^2 - 4(1)(-176)) )  /2

 =     ( -5 +\- sqrt( 25 +  704) )/ 2

=     ( -5 +\- sqrt (729) ) /2                            => as sqrt(729) = 27

=      (-5 +\- 27) / 2                                        =>

=      (-5 + 27)/2 or ( -5 -27)/2                      =>

=      22/2  or  -32/2                                     =>

=      11 or  -16


But -16 is not allowed as the question wants a positive value.



Thank you,

MrB
