Answer:

11/306

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to  the  number of total outcome.

Given that  there are 4 red, 8 yellow, and 6 blue socks in a drawer where the  probability of  picking a red, yellow and blue socks be  p(r), p(y), and p(b) respectively.

The probability of reaching into the drawer without looking and drawing out 2 blue socks

= 6/(4 + 8 + 6) * 5/(4 + 8 + 5)

= 6/18 + 5/17

= 11/306

If it takes 5 hours to do 2/3 of a job, how long will it take to complete a job?
VLD [36.1K]
I set it up as a ratio with hours on the top and the fraction of the job on the bottom.  It looks like this: 5/(2/3) / x/1, because 1 is the whole job if 2/3 is only a fraction of it.  Cross multiplying gives you 2/3x = 5. Solving for x gives you that it will take 7.5 hours to complete a whole job if it takes 5 hours to complete 2/3 of it.
