<span>25/28 is the probability of picking two or three white balls. Given that there are only 8 balls in total and of those 8, 5 of them are blue, this problem can be turned around to "What's the probability of selecting 5 blue balls?" And then subtracting that result from 1. There are a total of 6 ways of selecting all 5 blue balls. The only difference is when the single white ball is selected. The 6 ways are BBBBBW, BBBBWB, ..., WBBBBB. So let's calculate the probability of each of those 6. 5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 2/5 * 1/4 * 3/3 + 5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 2/5 * 3/4 * 1/3 + 5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 + 5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 + 5/8 * 3/7 * 4/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 + 3/8 * 5/7 * 4/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 = ? If you look closely at each of the 6 lines, you'll realize that the numerator will always be the product of 5!3 and the denominator will be 3*4*5*6*7*8. So, let's simplify to 6*5!3/(3*4*5*6*7*8) = 6*5*4*3*2*3/(3*4*5*6*7*8) = 2*3/(7*8) = 3/(7*4) = 3/28 Now we just need to calculate 1 - 3/28 = 28/28 - 3/28 = 25/28</span>

So what you need to do is to put X alone so what you do is +3 on both sides so only 7x=7x is  left. then do the opposite and divide 7 with 7 you get 1x thats your answer

Answer number 1 or 2 or both please&lt;3
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

1. 1.96 g/L

2. 1 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is found by dividing mass by volume: d = m/v.

1.

We know that the mass is 0.196 grams, while the volume is 100 mL.

Converting the volume to liters, we get:

100 mL = 0.1 L

Then, applying our density formula:

d = m/v

d = 0.196 g / 0.1 L = 1.96 g/L

2.

Here, we know that the mass is 27 grams. However, we don't know the volume, which we need to find.

The block of wood is 3 cm on all sides, which means it's a cube. The volume of a cube is denoted by V = s³, where s is the side length. Here, s = 3, so V = s³ = 3³ = 27 cm³.

Applying our density formula gives:

d = m/v

d = 27 g / 27 cm³ = 1 g/cm³
