When they work together, they do 1/3 of the job in one hour.
(Bubba) + (Skeeter) = 1/3 job/hour
Subtract 'Bubba'
from each side: Skeeter = (1/3 job/hour) - (Bubba)
Bubba, working alone, does 1/8 of the job in one hour.
Skeeter = (1/3 job/hour) - (1/8 job/hour)
Can you subtract 1/8 from 1/3 ?
Before you can subtract, you'll need a common denominator.
I've got a nice one here . . . 24 .
1/3 = 8/24
1/8 = 3/24
Skeeter = (1/3 job/hour) - (1/8 job/hour)
= (8/24 job/hour) - (3/24 job/hour)
= 5/24 job/hour .
Skeeter mows at the rate of 5/24 field/hour.
The other way to look at that is: 24/5 hour/field = 4.8 hours .
Check:
Bubba: 1/8 field per hour = 0.125
Skeeter: 1/4.8 field per hour = 0.208333...
Together: (0.125 + 0.208333)
= 0.333... field per hour
= 3 hours/field . yay!
The probability that the card is not yellow is 
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>The probability of an event is given as:</u></em>
From given,
A box is filled with 8 blue cards, 8 yellow cards, and 2 green cards
Total number of possible outcomes = 8 + 8 + 2 = 18
Favorable outcome = card is not yellow
Favorable outcome = card is blue or green = 8 + 2 = 10
Therefore,
Thus the probability that the card is not yellow is 5/9
