Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that the question is interested in the probability that a randomly chosen class is a Friday class with a lab experiment (2/15). That is somewhat different from the probability that a lab experiment is conducted on a Friday (2/3).
Based on our assumption, we want to create a simulation that includes a 1/5 chance of the day being a Friday, along with a 2/3 chance that the class has a lab experiment on whatever day it is.
That simulation can consist of choosing 1 of 5 differently-colored marbles, and rolling a 6-sided die with 2/3 of the numbers being designated as representing a lab-experiment day. (The marble must be replaced and the marbles stirred for the next trial.) For our purpose, we can designate the yellow marble as "Friday", and numbers greater than 2 as "lab-experiment".
The simulation of 70 different choices of a random class is shown in the attachment.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
IMO, the use of <em>70 trials</em> is coincidentally the same number as the first <em>70 days</em> of school. The calendar is deterministic, so there will be exactly 14 Fridays in that period. If, in 70 draws, you get 16 yellow marbles, you cannot say, "the probability of a Friday is 16/70." You need to be very careful to properly state the question you're trying to answer.
To find out how many hours it rained, divide the total rise in the river by the amount it rose every hour.
First convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:
When dividing fractions we flip(the reciprocal) the one we're dividing by and multiply:
Multiply the numerators and denominators together:
Simplify by dividing:
So it rained for 10 hours.
