0.24 is an even number....so 2 will be a factor
2x = 0.24
x = 0.24 / 2
x = 0.12
so 2 factors would be 2 and 0.12.....because 2 * 0.12 = 0.24
Answer:
0.4h ; 60 - h ;18 - 0.3h ; 0.1h + 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Old house blend = 40% Columbian beans
New house blend = 30% Columbian beans
h = number of pounds of old house blend
a.) pound of columbian bean in old house blend :
40% of h = 0.4h
b.) pound of new blend poured into the bean:
Size of bin = 60 pound
Size of bin - pound of old house blend
(60 - h)
c. Amount of columbian bean in pound of new house blend :
30% of (60 - h)
0.3 * (60 - h)
18 - 0.3h
D.) Amount of columbian bean in 60 pound bin
(Pound of columbian bean in old house blend + pound of Columbian bean in New house blend)
0.4h + (18 - 0.3h)
0.4h + 18 - 0.3h
0.1h + 18
Explanation:

Let the number of shaded square be x. And it is given that total number of squares are 25.
Substituting the values
Performing cross multiplication
So 5 squares should be shaded to create a region with a geometric probability of 0.2 .
