Answer:

60/125 which can be reduced to 12/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Gina wins

2/5 * 2/5 = 4/25

3/5 * 2*5 * 2/5 = 12 /125

2/5 * 3/5 * 2/5 = 12/125

Fred Wins

3/5 * 3/5 = 9/25

2/5 * 3/5 * 3/5 = 18/125

3/5 * 2/5 * 3/5 = 18/125

P(3 sets) = (18 + 18 + 12 + 12)/125 = 60/125

P(2 sets) = (20 + 45)/125 = 65/125

I found the probability of 2 sets so I could add the results together to see if the probability totals 1. It does. This question is done correctly.

Slove e ach camper needs 3m2 to play desk area 1m2 lunch area 7m2. There is 53m2 space for rent at the library. How many campers
kifflom [539]

Answer:

4 campers

Step-by-step explanation:

Each camper needs 3m^2 to play, desk area of 1m^2 and lunch area of 7m^2.

The total space that each camper needs is:

3m^2 + 1m^2 + 7m^2 = 11 m^2

There is 53m^2 space for rent at the library.

The number of campers that can fit into the space in the library can be gotten be dividing the space in the library by the space needed by each camper.

That is:

53 / 11 = 4.81

Because we are talking about a number of people, we only consider the whole number.

Therefore, the space can only fit 4 campers.
