8 gorrilas
Explanation:The ratio of monkeys to gorrila = 5:2
This means there are 5 monkeys for every 2 gorrilas
when there are 20 monkeys,
let the number of gorrilas = x
5 monkeys = 2 gorrilas
20 monkeys = x
cross multiply:
5(x) = 20(2)
5x = 40
divide both sides by 5:
5x/5 = 40/5
x = 8
Hence, if there were 20 monkeys, we would have 8 gorrilas.
So,
The probability of drawing a yellow marble is
.
Since he replaces the marble after it is drawn out, the probability of drawing another yellow is the same:.
The probability of drawing a red marble is
.
In order to get the probability of drawing 2 yellow marbles and 1 red marble, given that each marble is replaced after it is drawn out, we must multiply the fractions together.
Because the order of the marbles doesn't matter, we will multiply the probability by 3.
