I order to solve this you have to find out how how much root beer there is to the total amount of candy. 12/27. Then you find out what the percentage of root beer there is by dividing 12 by 27. It’ll give you a decimal point. Percentage has a maximum of 100%. And you’ll find out what percent based on this decimal. Factor it out of 1. The percentage you get is .44. By factoring out of 1 you can find out that the percentage is 44%. So the probability of finding a root beer out of all the candy is roughly 44%
X^2+ox-36=(x-6)(x+6)
x^2+0x-36=0
1/4 of her original money is 1.25 + 1.60 = 2.85
She started with 2.85 * 4 = 11.40 pounds.
1/1.5 * 10^-6 = 2500/x
x = 1.5 * 10^-6 * 2500
x = 0.00375 or 3.75 * 10^-3 second.
