Mr. Green is still repairing that old, rundown house he recently purchased. He finally fixed that leaky faucet in the kitchen, b
ut now the bathroom faucet is leaking. He’s wondering if the dripping rate is the same as the kitchen, so again he starts his observations. However, this time he notes that for the bathroom faucet, 8 ounces of water dripped in 12 minutes. A) At this rate, how many ounces of water will drip in a day?
First, let's find how much water will drip in an hour (60 minutes), so we can make an equation:
8/12 = x/60
And if you multiply both sides of the equation by 60 you will get 8*5 = x which is 40. So, we know that in one hour, 40 ounces of water will drip from the bathroom faucet. To find how much water will drip in a day, just multiply 40 by 24 (since there are 24 hours in a day). That would result in 960.
The probability that her first treat is jelly is 4/20. Since she eats the candy and does not replace it, the probability the second treat is jelly would be 3/19 (1 less jelly and 1 less total candies). You would then multiply (4/20) by (3/19). That is your answer.
