To solve this problem you must apply the proccedire shown above:

1. You have that the odds against an event E occurring are 12 to 3. Therefore, you have:

total outcomes=12+3=15

2. Then, you have that the probability of the event E occurring is:

1-12/15=1/5

The answer is: 1/5

9. Mark is filling up crates with watermelons for the food drive. He has large watermelons that weigh 10 pounds each and smaller

9. 10x + 5y is the equation for larger watermelons + smaller watermelons (you did not provide information about the medium watermelons, so we must assume given the options you miswrote one of them). We can hold NO MORE than 500 pounds, so 10x + 5y must be smaller than 500. The best answer is C assuming that "5y" represents your "Medium Watermelons"- because smaller watermelons are stated to be 5 and medium ones should therefore be between 5 and 10, the option provided by A wouldn't make since because 3 pounded watermelons are not "medium" in comparison to the "small ones" that are heavier/bigger. Your best option is C, 10x + 5y < 500, the exact answer technically would be 10x + 5y <= 500.
