Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Jar contains 4 white and 4 black marbles
We randomly select 4 marbles out of which 2 are white and 2 are black
Probability that 2 white and 2 black marbles are selected is
The process is continue for n trails until we choose the correct order
i.e. we have to fail in n-1 trails
For exact n selection Probability is given by
Answer:
- One proportion to solve is 8/18 = x/8
- Exact answer as a fraction: x = 32/9
- Approximate answer in decimal form: x = 3.556
In reality, the 5's go on forever, but we have to round off somewhere.

Explanation:
Break up the triangles as your teacher recommends. See the diagram below as to what I mean.
The smaller triangle has A = 8 as the horizontal side, and B = x as the vertical side
The larger triangle has C = 10+8 = 18 as the horizontal aside, and D = 8 as the vertical side.
We can form the proportion A/C = B/D.
A/C connects the horizontal sides (small/large) while B/D has the vertical sides tied together. The order of division is the same small over large. You could do large over small, but make sure you keep both sides consistent.
-----------------
Let's solve for x
A/C = B/D
8/18 = x/8
8*8 = 18*x .... cross multiply
64 = 18x
18x = 64
x = 64/18 .... divide both sides by 18
x = 32/9 exactly in fraction form
x = 3.556 approximately in decimal form
-------------------
Another proportion you can solve is A/B = C/D and you should get the same x value. It's the same as A/C = B/D because the B and C swap places. There are many other approaches you could take using different proportions.
