Answer:

6 red balls

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability in the first pick

6/21

The probability in the second pick (without replacement)

5/20

the requested probability

(6/21)(5/20) = 30/420

simplification

30/420 = 3/42 = 1/14

Hope this helps

Answer:

6 red balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are x red balls then

probability of 2 red balls

= x/21 * (x - 1)/20 = 1/14

x^2 - x / 420 = 1/14

x^2 - x = 30

x^2 - x - 30 = 0

(x - 6)(x + 5) = 0

x = 6.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

210 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are going to find the exchange rate from dollars to pounds.

We know form our problem that 800 dollars are 560 pounds. so:

\frac{560pounds}{800dollars} =0.7

800dollars

560pounds

=0.7 pounds per dollar.

Next, we are going to multiply our exchange rate by the number of dollars we want to change, 300:

300dollars*\frac{0.7pounds}{dollar} =210pounds300dollars∗

dollar

0.7pounds

=210pounds

We will get 210 pounds for 300 dollars
