Alison is 2/3 of the way to the museum, so the answer is about 2/3 of 9, or 6 miles. Let's calculate it:
2 17 miles
---- * (8 1/2 miles) = -------------- She has ridden (17/3) miles, which is 5 2/3
3 3 miles.
Possibilities of outcomes:
5, 5, 5
5, 5, 4
P(sum at least 14) = P(5,5,4) + P(5,5,5)
= 1/4 x 1/4 x 3/20 + 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4
1/40
Amount of black pepper = 1 7/10 kg = 17/10 kg.
Amount used is
(7/8)*(17/10) = 119/80 kg
This amount is split between 7 shakers. Each shaker has
(119/80)/7 = 17/80 kg = 0.2125 kg
Answer: 17/80 kg (or 0.2125 kg)
Hi!
We will solve this using ratios, like this:
4 1/2 = 4,5 kg of olive oil for 27 $
1 kg of olive oil for x $
_____________________________
x = (27*1)/4,5
x = 27/4,5
x = 6 $ per kilogram
Hope this helps!
