So, the total number of balls is 11. We want to pick 2 red balls and 1 green ball. WLOG (since order doesnt matter here), we can say he picks red, green, red. That means on his first pick, he has a
chance of picking the red ball, and he places it back in the bag. The probability of picking a green ball is
, and then he places the ball back in the bag. The probability of picking the last red ball is the same as the last red ball example, and we simply multiply the probabilities together as per the multiplication rule to get:

Now, without replacement the order does matter. He picks a red ball, a red ball then a green ball. The probability of picking the first red ball is
, and the probability of picking the second red ball is
and the probability of picking the green ball is
. We want to multiply thm again, as per the multiplication rule like the last problem.

Answer: your answer is 195

Answer:
Latoya:
cran : lem = 2 1/5 : 1 4/5
= 11/5 : 9/5
= 11 : 9
Lem : total = 9 : 20
Parker:
cran : lem = 2 1/2 : 3 1/2
= 5/2 : 7/2
= 5 : 7
Lem : total = 7 : 12

Answer:
20 comic books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us first <u>set up a variable</u>, x, for the number of books that Zoe has. If Jared has 12 more comics than Zoe, he would have x+12 books.
Given that Zoe and Jared have a total of 28 comic books, let us write an <u>equation</u> and solve for x:

Now that we have a <u>simplified</u> version of the equation, let us solve for x by <u>isolating the variable</u> on the left side:

We now know that x=8, and also that Jared has x+12 books. To find the number of comic books Jared has, let us <u>add</u> 12 to x:

Therefore, Jared has 20 comic books.
