Remark
Let the pigs = p
Let the chickens = c
Givens
30 heads is another way of saying that there were 30 creatures in the barnyard. In addition each chicken has 2 legs and each pig has 4
c + p = 30
2C + 4P = 100 (2) Divide (2) by 2
C + 2P = 50 (3) Subtract (1) from (3)
<u>C + P = 30</u>
P = 20
So there were 20 pigs.
Answer:
P(black) = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the total number of marbles
2 red marbles+ 3 white marbles+ 10 black marbles = 15 marbles
To find the probability that Sam chose a black marble, we take the number of black marbles and divide by the total number of marbles
P(black) = black marbles/total marbles
= 10/15
Divide the top and bottom by 5
= 2/3
