A bag contains 40 marbles. The probability of selecting a red marble at random is 1/5. How many red marbles are in the bag?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

8 red marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

All together we have 40 marbles. The fraction of marbles that are red is 1/5 which means that we should divide the total number of marbles, which is 40 by the denominator ( Bottom number of fraction ) 5 so that we get the number of groups that have 1 red marble in them. In this case we have 8 groups.

40/5=8

You always divide by the denominator ( Bottom number of fraction ) first and then you multiply your answer by the numerator ( Top number of fraction ) .

If each group has 1 red marble in it and we have 8 groups, it means that we have 8 red marbles in the bag.

1 * 8 = 8 red marbles in the bag

If the numerator (number above the fraction line) was more than one, then this would mean that we have more than 1 marble in each group of marbles.

Example:

If we had 3/5 we would have 3 marbles in each group of marbles. This means that instead of doing 1 * 8 we would have to do 3 * 8 = 24. We would have 24 red marbles in the bag.

Easy and quick way if you do not need the explanation:

Another way we could do this is by simply multiplying the fraction ( 1/5 ) by the total number of marbles ( 40 ). This would still give us an answer of 8 red marbles in the bag. 40/5=8, 8*1=8

Bob has a coin cup with four $1 tokens and two $5 tokens in it. He also has two $10 tokens and one $25 token in his pocket.
He randomly draws a token froin the cup, and then randomly draws a token from his pocket. What is the probability that he
will draw $30 in tokens?
OB.
. В

Answers

We want to find the probability that Bob will randomly draw $30 in tokens. We will find that the probability is P = 1/6 = 0.167

Finding the probability.

The only case where he draws $30 randomly is when:

He takes one $5 token from the coin cupHe takes the $25 token from his pocket.

Then we need to find the probabilities for these two events.

For the first one, the probability will be equal to the quotient between the number of $5 tokens and the total number of tokens in the cup. There are 6 tokens in the cup and 2 of these are $5 tokens, then the probability is:

p = 2/6 = 1/3

For the second event the probability is computed in the same way, he has two tokens in his pocket and one of them is a $25 token, then the probability is:

q = 1/2

The joint probability, the probability that both of these events happen at the same time, is given by the product of the individual probabilities, so we get:

P = p*q = (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6 = 0.167

So the probability that he draws $30 in tokens is P = 1/6 = 0.167.

The given fractions are:

[tex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] and [tex]\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

The denominators of these fractions are 4 and 5 respectively.

Factor form of 4 is 2×2.

5 is a prime number, so factor form of 5 is 5×1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total cost be x and number of rides be y

It costs $2 on each ride. So, the rides' cost will be:

=> Number of rides * One rides' cost

=> y * 2

=> 2 y

So, The total cost will be:

Total cost = Entrance cost + Rides' cost

Total cost = $6 + $2(Number of rides)

x = 6 + 2y

Answers

Answer: x = 24 & x = 96

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: Every option given is a solution

Any value larger than 18 is a solution. So we can say x > 18.

============================================================

Explanation:

To isolate x, we multiply both sides by 6 like so

3 < x/6

3*6 < x

18 < x

x > 18

In the last step, I swapped the left and right sides. This swap meant that I had to flip the inequality sign as well. Saying x > 18 means we can pick anything larger than 18 to have it as a solution. Something like x = 5 is too small, but values like x = 24 and x = 96 will work. In fact, all of the answer choices given are larger than 18. So you'll check each answer box.

---------

As a way to confirm a potential answer, we plug it back into the original inequality. Let's say we wanted to check x = 90

So,

3 < x/6

3 < 90/6 ... replace every x with 90

3 < 15

The last inequality is true, because 3 is indeed smaller than 15. Therefore, the original inequality is true when x = 90. We confirm that x = 90 is a solution.

The steps to confirm x = 114, x = 96, and x = 24 will follow the same idea. I'll let you do those confirmations.

Step-by-step explanation:

A business owner wants to have the front window of her store painted and is considering two
artists for the job. Tiana has quoted a flat rate of $292 for the job. Denise's quote is $39 per
hour, plus $19 to cover the cost of materials. Depending on how long it takes Denise to paint
the window, these two could end up charging the same amount. How long would Denise have
to take? How much would it cost?

Answers

denise would have to take seven hours to charge the same amount of money as tiana. furthermore, it would cost the same amount as that is what the prompt is asking for.

to get the answer:
i subtracted $19 from $292 to eliminate the
fee element because if you were to divide
$292 by $39 without the step, the hours would be incorrect and the price would be greater.

after subtracting i got $273

from there i divided $273 by $39 and got 7 (the amount of hours it would take)
