Ratio 1:2:3 means we have x, 2x and 3x as the three parts
x+2x+3x = 42
6x = 42
6x/6 = 42/6
x = 7
Since x = 7, this means 2x = 2*7 = 14 and 3x = 3*7 = 21
Dividing 42 into the ratio of 1:2:3 means we have 7:14:21 as the answer
If we divide all three parts of 7:14:21 by the GCF 7, we reduce it down to 1:2:3
As a check,
7+14+21 = 21+21 = 42
so it works out
Answer:
4.39%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are no marking to identify the coins, so the order is not important. Since the order not important we use combination instead of permutation.
A coin have 2 possible outcome, head or tails. Assuming the coin is fair each outcome will be 50% or 0.5 chance. If heads= A and tails =B, then the probability of 2 pennies will be:
P(A=2) = 2C10 * A^2 * B^(10-2)
P(A=2) = 10*9/2 * 0.5^2 * 0.5^8
P(A=2) = 0.0439= 4.39%
Answer: At most 3
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 25 white socks and 25 red socks, a matching pair would be picked in at most 3 times.
The first sock you pick would be either White or Red
The second sock you pick would be either white or red again which means that you now either have 2 whites, 2 reds or 1 white and 1 red.
The third sock you pick will either be white or red once more. At this point you will either have 3 whites, 3 reds, 2 whites and 1 red or 2 reds and 1 white.
You will therefore have at least a matching pair after 3 tries.
200 * 0.15 = $30 off
200-30 = $170
Nancy must pay $170
