If 2A:3B=5:6 and 3B:2C=36:15 then find A:C
1 answer:
Answer:
A: C = 2: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached pictures for the full solution.
Further explanantion (2nd image):
The reason why the ratio of A: C is equal to the ratio if 2A: 2C is that the number of parts of A and C is equal, which is 2 parts. If I were to divide both 2A and 2C by 2 to find the ratio of A: C, I would obtain 15: 15/2. However, ratios are expressed as whole numbers and thus, we would multiply the whole ratio by 2 again and the answer would still be 30: 15. This ratio is not in the simplest form since both can be divided by 15. Thus, dividing both sides of the ratio by 15 will leave us with the final answer of
A: C= 2: 1.
☆ An alternative method is to simplify the ratio 3B: 2C at the beginning.
3B: 2C
= 36: 15
= 12: 5
Multiply the first ratio by 2 so 3B has 12 parts in both ratios:
2A: 3B
= 10: 12
Combining the 2 ratios together,
2A: 3B: 2C
= 10: 6: 5
2A: 2C
= 10: 5
= 2: 1
A: C= 2: 1

It depends on how b approaches 0
If b is positive and gets closer to zero, then we say b is approaching 0 from the right, or from the positive side. Let's say a = 1. The equation a/b turns into 1/b. Looking at a table of values, 1/b will steadily increase without bound as positive b values get closer to 0.
On the other side, if b is negative and gets closer to zero, then 1/b will be negative and those negative values will decrease without bound. So 1/b approaches negative infinity if we approach 0 on the left (or negative) side.
The graph of y = 1/x shows this. See the diagram below. Note the vertical asymptote at x = 0. The portion to the right of it has the curve go upward to positive infinity as x approaches 0. The curve to the left goes down to negative infinity as x approaches 0.
Answer:
Probability of atleast one of 12 student has food allergies ≈ 0.58 ( approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Probability of a children under age 5 has food allergies = 7%
=
To find : Probability of atleast one of 12 student has food allergies
Probability of a chindren under age 5 does not have food allergies =
⇒ prob =
now we find Probability of atleast one of 12 student has food allergies this means we have to find prob of 1 student, 2 student, 3 student, till 12 student have allergy out of 12 student of class then add all prob.
But instead of finding all these probability we find probability of student having no allergy.i.e., 0 student then subtract it from 1(total probability)
Probability of 0 student having allergy out of 12 student =
Therefore, Probability of atleast one of 12 student has food allergies
=
=
≈ 0.58 ( approx)
Answer:
1. 10/21
2. 11/42
3. 41/42
4. 2/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability defines the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.
Combination Operations
1. Probability of forming a committee consisting of two men and two women
=
2. Probability of forming a committee that has more women than men
(NOTE: Since the committee desired has only 4 members, forming a committee that has more women than men can only be possible if we have 4 women, 0 men or 3 women 1 man)
=
3. Probability of forming a committee that has at least one man
(NOTE: at least one man implies the committee must not have all women members )
=
4. Probability of forming a committee with both Alice and Bob are members of the committee (NOTE: If Alice and Bob are compulsory member of the committee, there are only two more people to join the committee from the remaining 8 people)
it be like a coin toss ut a little more complicated. For every toss we have 4 outcomes from 210 possililities
