Since 5 winning numbers are draw and there are exactly 2 winning numbers, the other 3 numbers chosen have to be incorrect.

The 2 numbers picked right, there are 5C2=10 different possibilities.

The other 3 numbers are just picked from the rest of the 32 numbers. Getting there are 32C3=4960 different possibilities.

For each set of 2 correct winning numbers, you could have the 4960 different losing numbers to match up to make a unique set. This meant that there are 4690*10=46900 different total possibilities.

Now the total different outcomes of how you can choose the numbers are 37C5=435897 outcomes.

Now the way to find probabilities is want/total

The want is 46900 and the total is 435897

Doing the division you get the number rounded to the nearest thousandths as   0.107 or in percent form as

10.759% chance of picking exactly 2 winning numbers.

This seems like a competition problem of some sort therefore I assume that you already know what combinations in form nCk and permutation in form nPk means.

Can someone plzz help me you got to zoom in !!!

1. 140 - The reason it would be one 40 is honestly a really simple explanation. Is the ratio of boys to girls in 7-2 and the amount of girls is 40. That means that per 1 number, is 20 people since 40 divided by 2 is 20. So if I do 2 x 7 that would be 140.

2. I didnt really understand this one sorryyy.

3. 1200 (same rule applies) - Since The ratio is 1:11 and the 1 represents 100 beans. If I doo 100 x 11 that would be 1100, then I would add the 1100 to the 100 (from the 1) and that would be 1200.

4. 6:7 - If I do 650 - 350 that would be 300. Which means the ratio would be 300:350. But once simplified the answer would be 6:7.

5. 1:2 - 720 - 240 is 480. Therefore the ratio would be 240:480. Once simplified, the ratio is 1:2.

Hope this helped. Good luck!!! xo

You can buy DVDs at a local store for 15.59 each. You can buy them at on online store for 13.99 each plus $6 shipping. How many
dalvyx [7]
Local(L) = 1 x (15.99)
Online(O) = (1 x 13.99) + 6

So use that equation until you find the same number.

L1=15.99
O1=19.99

L2=31.98
O2=33.98

L3=47.97
O3=47.97

And your answer will be three from local and three from online.
