Answer:
3/8 & 4/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 - 1/8 = 4/8 - 1/8 = 3/8
x - 1/8 = 3/8
x = 4/8
Answer:
look down there
Step-by-step explanation:
First ball:
Probability of drawing a white ball is 5/8
Probability of drawing a black ball is 3/8
Second ball:
This depends on the first ball drawn, lets say you drew a white ball initially, 4 white balls are left out of 7 balls in total. The probability of a white ball in the second pick is 4/7.
Total probability of drawing two white balls is 5/8*4/7 (since they are independent events).
If you picked a black ball initially, picking another black ball would have a probability of 2/7, on similar grounds , total prob for 2 blacks would be 3/8*2/7.
The probability that you pick 2 balls of same color is (5/14 + 3/28) = 13/28. (Since they are mutually exclusive events)
Answer: Width of box is not taken up by pencils = 
Width of each pencil 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Width of pencil box = 
Width of seven pencils = 
Width of box is not taken up by pencils = Width of pencil box - Width of seven pencils
Width of box is not taken up by pencils =
Width of each pencil = (Width of seven pencils ) ÷ 7
Width of each pencil
Answer:
3, 15, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5x + ( 5x -1) = 32
11x - 1 = 32
11x = 32 + 1
11x = 33
11x/11 = 33/11
x = 3
therefore
the first number is 3
the second is 5 × 3 = 15
the third number is 15 - 1 = 14
