<h3>Answer is  3:2</h3>

Explanation

The probability of getting the correct answer is 2/5. This means there are 2 events of getting it right out of 5 events total. Since there are 2 events of getting it right, there are 5-2 = 3 events of getting it wrong.

The odds against getting the right answer is 3:2. We list the number of ways to get it wrong first, a colon, then the number of ways of getting it right.

Kay [80]

Answer:

60 Possible meals

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 possible choices for the first item (salads).

Let's pretend you choose the House Salad.

What are all the possible choices you have for entree and dessert combinations?

12.

Simply add up the possible choices you have for entree/dessert combinations across Salads (this is the definition of multiplication).

So 5 x 12 = 60.

Hope this helped! ;)
