The answer is 7/40.
To solve, you have to find the LCM (least common denominator) for 5/8 and 4/5. 5/8= 25/40 and 4/5= 32/40. Subtract and you get 7/40. That is your answer.
Writing this statement symbolically, we get:
n
--- - 5 = 8
2
Adding 5 to both sides, we get n/2 = 13. Then n = 26.
Answer:
The probability that the red card came from the first stack is:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Stack Red Blue Total
First 6 5 11
Second 9 0 9
Total 15 5 20
The probability of selecting from the first stack = 50% since equal opportunity is given to the two sacks.
The probability of red card from the first stack = 6/15 = 0.4 = 40%.
b) The probability that the red card came from the first stack is given by the number of red cards in the first stack divided by the number or red cards in the two stacks. This is equal to 6/15 = 0.4 or 40%.
The Answer is 94.2 cubic inches
