Since the scale is in equilibrium, both sides must be equal. Therefore, we have the following equation:
Solving for :
There are 9 candies in total, with 5 being orange. Think of it. For the first grab, you have a 5/9 chance of it being orange flavored. Now there are 4 orange flavored candies, and 8 total candies in the bag. Grabbing a second candy, Billy has a 4/8 chance of grabbing an orange flavored candy. So your two fractions are...
5/9, 4/8
Can you combine these two fractions for a final answer?
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
An integer is a whole number so if x is positive and y is negative then the equation would just be x plus negative y. But x+-y is an odd equation so the simplified version is x-y so it is a rational number, since a rational number is a number that can be rewritten as a simple fraction.
