Answer:
Explanation:
You can build a two-way relative frequency table to represent the data:
These are the columns and rows:
Car No car Total
Boys
Girl
Total
Fill the table
- <em>30% of the children at the school are boys</em>
Car No car Total
Boys 30%
Girl
Total
- <em>60% of the boys at the school arrive by car</em>
That is 60% of 30% = 0.6 × 30% = 18%
Car No car Total
Boys 18% 30%
Girls
Total
By difference you can fill the cell of Boy and No car: 30% - 18% = 12%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl
Total
Also, you know that the grand total is 100%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl
Total 100%
By difference you fill the total of Girls: 100% - 30% = 70%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl 70%
Total 100%
- <em>80% of the girls at the school arrive by car</em>
That is 80% of 70% = 0.8 × 70% = 56%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl 56% 70%
Total 100%
Now you can finish filling in the whole table calculating the differences:
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl 56% 14% 70%
Total 74% 26% 100%
Having the table completed you can find any relevant probability.
The probability that a child chosen at random from the school arrives by car is the total of the column Car: 74%.
That is because that column represents the percent of boys and girls that that arrive by car: 18% of the boys, 56% of the girls, and 74% of all the the children.
Answer:
1.25 cups of diced tomatoes
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 12 1/4 ÷ 7
2. = 49/4 x 1/7
3. =49/28
4. =7/4
5. =1 1/4 or 1.25

Answer:
1200 students at the school
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the total number of students at the school
50% ride the bus
600 students ride the bus
x*50% = 600
Changing to decimal form
.50x = 600
Divide each side by .5
.50x/.5 = 600/.5
x =1200
1200 students at the school
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So say there are x yellow cubes.
Yellow = x
Blue = 3x
Green = 15x
It doesn't say red so I'm going to assume there are none.
