Let event A = Caroline buys fruit, event B = Caroline buys CD, Ac and Bc are complementary events.

Events AB, ABc, AcB and AcBc are jointly exhaustive and disjoint, hence P(AB) + P(ABc) + P(AcB) +P(AcBc) =1.

Events A and B independent, hence Ac and Bc independent too and probability P(AcBc) = P(Ac)*P(Bc) = (1 - P(A))(1-P(B)) = 0.6*0.4 = 0.24.

Required probability P(AB + ABc + AcB ) = P(AB) + P(ABc) + P(AcB) = 1- P(AcBc) = 1 - 0.24 = 0.76.

Answer: Probability that Caroline buys fruit, a CD or both is 0.76.

A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of butter. Angie wants to triple the recipe, but she has only 1 5/8.

Lyrx [107]

Let's start out by tripling the original recipe to see how much butter Angie needs.

$\frac{3}{4} * 3 = total$
$\frac{3* 3}{4} = total$
$\frac{9}{4} = total$
$2 \frac{1}{4} = total$

So we need $2 \frac{1}{4}$ cups of butter, but Angie only has $1 \frac{5}{8}$ . Let's subtract what Angie has from the total to see how much more she needs.

$2 \frac{1}{4} - 1\frac{5}{8} = n$
$\frac{9}{4} - \frac{13}{8} = n$
we will need the least common denominator for both fractions
$\frac{2}{2} *(\frac{9}{4}) - \frac{13}{8} = n$
$\frac{18}{8} - \frac{13}{8} = n$
$\frac{5}{8} = n$

So Angie need $\frac{5}{8}$ cups more of butter for the recipe.
