o keep his little brother occupied while he does his homework. Ken reaches into the toy chest without looking and gets a car to give to his little brother. What is the probability that Ken will choose a Lamborghini or Corvette from his toy chest? Express your probability answer as a fraction, decimal and percent. help plissss
Since the problem says “lamborghini OR corvette” you need to add the probability amount of both cars together. There are 2 lamborghinis and 4 corvettes, so 2+4=6. Now, put this number over the total amount of all cars. 6+2+4+8+12=32. So, the probability will be 6/32 which simplifies to 3/16. In decimal form this is .1875, and in percent form this is 18.75% (move the decimal 2 places to the right)
If 1 bushel = 48 pounds and 1 pound = 3 apples 48 pounds = x apples cross multiply x apples = 48 X 3 ==> 144 apples 1 bushel = 144 apples (because 48 pounds = 1 bushel) 315 bushel = x apples x apples = 144 X 315 x = 45360 apples
