Answer:

33.3333333333

Step-by-step explanation:

we see that there are 6 candies in total

we also see that there is a 50% chance that someone will take out 3 candies of the same color,

50/3 = 16.66666666666667

so the chance of getting 2 marbles of the same color is 16.66666666666667 + 16.66666666666667 which is 33.3333333333

I hope I could help

You have 10 cups of a cleaning solution that is 10% white vinegar and 90% water. You want the mixture to be 50% white vinegar an
vichka [17]
Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

let's say we'll add "x" cups of pure vinegar, pure vinegar meaning is 100% vinegar.

how much vinegar is there in "x" cups of 100% vinegar?  well (100/100) * x, or just "x".

how much vinegar is there in 10 cups of 10% vinegar?  well, (10/100) * 10, or just 1.

say after adding the "x" cups to the 10 cups, we end up with "y" cups, of 50% of vinegar.

how much is 50% of y?  well, (50/100) * y or 0.5y.

bearing in mind that x+10 = y, both cups amounts added up, and that x+1=0.5y, both vinegar amounts added up, thus 

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{cups}{amount}&\stackrel{vinegar~\%}{amount}&\stackrel{vinegar~cups}{quantity}\\
\textit{100\% vinegar}&x&1.00&x\\
\textit{10\% cups}&10&0.10&1\\
------&------&------&------\\
mixture&y&0.5&0.5y
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+10=\boxed{y}\\
x+1=0.5y\\
----------\\
x+1=0.5\left( \boxed{x+10} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
x+1=0.5x+5\implies 0.5x=4\implies x=\cfrac{4}{0.5}\implies x=8

kvasek [131]

Answer:

C. 0 6 10

Step-by-Step-Explanation:

the number on the left of the indicated operation is the original set

the number '2' next to R shows that you need to multiply certain numbers by 2

the subscript on the R's shows which row the multiplication needs to be done on...

so in this case, leave the second row alone: 1  3  4

but multiply the first row by 2: 0  6  10
