1. The probability that we select a red marble is 1/3.
We found this out by taking the amount of red marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. The total amount of marbles is 18 and there are red marbles. So, it would become 6 out of 18 or 6/18. Then, we simplify 6/18 to the simplest form. The greatest common factor of both of those numbers is 6. Lastly, we divide each of them by 6 to get the simplest form.
6/18 = (6/6)/(18/6)
(6/6)/(18/6) = 1/3
So, therefore, the theoretical probability of picking a red marble is 1/3.
2. The probability that we select a blue marble is 2/3.
We can find this out by taking the amount of blue marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. We know that the total amount of marble is 18 and there are 12 blue marbles. So, we simply get the GCF (greatest common factor) and divide them by it.
Greatest Common Factor of 12 and 18 = 6
12/18 = (12/6)/(18/6)
(12/6)/(18/6) = 2/3
Thus, the theoretical probability of picking a blue marble is 2/3.
She would start at the 3 inch mark and count from there.
Answer:
500 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the total number of grams of the sample is x. We know that 30% of x is salt and we also know this quantity is 150 grams. So, we can write this as:
30% * x = 150
Remember that % is simply "out of 100", so 30% = 30/100 = 0.30. Then:
0.30 * x = 150
Divide both sides by 0.30:
x = 500 grams
Hope this helps!
First, you would create an equation for this problem.
-27 + 13
Now, all you would have to do is solve it.
-27 + 13 = -14
By 2 pm the temperature was -14 degrees.
I hope this helps!
