<u>Answer</u>

16 cups

<u>Explanation</u>

First we find the difference between 1/8 and 3/4 of the container.

3/4 - 1/8 = 6/8 - 1/8

= 5/8

From here we can say that;

5/8 full of water represent 10 cups, what of 8/8 full of water?

5/8 ⇒ 10 cups.

8/8 ⇒ ?

Using cross multiplication;

(8/8 × 10) ÷ 5/8 = 10 ×8/5

= (10 × 8)/5

= 80/5

= 16 cups

If you know 10 cups is 3/4, divide 10 cups by 3 to know what one quarter full would be. Once you divide 10 by 3, you get 3.33. This is one quarter of the volume of the container. Since there are four quarters in one whole, you can multiply this number by four to find the total volume. Once calculated, you get 13.33 cups as your volume. Hope this helps!

Two married couples have purchased theater tickets and are seated in a row consisting of just 4 seats. If they take their seats
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The answer is 0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

To use probability of a complement event, we need to find the situation where none of the couples are sitting next to each other which can happen either two husbands are sitting in the seats 2 and 3 or two wives are sitting in the seats 2 and 3. Also in the first scenario, the wives would need to be sitting at the opposite ends to their husbands and vice versa for the second scenario.

So there are in total 4 scenarios where no couple is sitting next to each other.

There are a total of 16 different ways that they can be seated so the probability of compelement is 16 - 4 = 12, which is 3/4 of the total, meaning that the probability of at least one of the wives sittting next to her husband is 0.75 or 75%.

I hope this answer helps.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

27 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you read 3 pages on Monday and you read 3 times that number on Tuesday, the equation should be 3*3 to equal 9. Then, since you read 9 pages on Tuesday and 3 times that number on Wednesday, the equation should be 9*3 to equal 27 pages. So, on Wednesday, you read 27 pages in total.
