<h3>Answer: 9</h3>

Explanation:

One method is to do the steps like this

15% of 60 = 0.15*60 = 9

Or you can solve like this

part/whole = percent/100

x/60 = 15/100

100x = 60*15

100x = 900

x = 900/100

x = 9

There are 12 red marbles and 8 green marbles in a bag. What is the probability of selecting a red

madam [21]

Answer:

The probability of selecting a red marble, not replacing it, and then selecting a green marble from the bag is 24/95

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red marbles = 12

Number of green marbles = 8

Total number of marbles = 12+8 = 20

Probability of selecting red marble = $\frac{12}{20}$

Since it is the case of no replacement

Remaining marbles = 20-1 = 19

Number of red marbles = 12-1=11

Number of green marbles = 8

Probability of selecting green marble = $\frac{8}{19}$

So, the probability of selecting a red marble, not replacing it, and then selecting a green marble from the bag = $\frac{12}{20} \times \frac{8}{19}=\frac{24}{95}$

Hence the probability of selecting a red marble, not replacing it, and then selecting a green marble from the bag is 24/95

Gregory knows that Triangle A B C is reflected onto Triangle A prime B prime C prime. Which statement about the figures is true?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer: if Gregory draws the segment with endpoints A and A’, then the midpoint will lie on the line of reflection.

Explanation:

Given that a triangle ABC is reflected in triangle A'B'C'

Here reflection is done on a line

If you imagine the line as a mirror then ABC will have image on the mirror line as A'B'C'

Recall that in a mirror the object and image would be equidistant from the mirror and also the line joining the image and object would be perpendicular to the mirror

But note that corresponding images will only be perpendicular bisector to the line

So A and A' only will be corresponding so AA' will have mid point on line

Option 1 is right
