Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that:
- 2/5 of the spice mixture was oregano.
- 1/3 of the spice mixture was basil.
Then, to find the fraction of the total amount of spice mixture that was oregano and basil, you must add both fractions, as following:
- Find the least common multiply of the denominators:
- Divide the LCM by each original denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.
- Make the addition.
Then, the result is:
There were 340,000 cattle placed on feed
How many of the 340,000 cattle placed on feed were between 700 and 799 pounds?
Given the fraction of total cattle for 700 - 799 pounds is 2/5
Let x be the number of cattle between 700 - 799 pounds
We make a proportion using the fraction
Cross multiply it and solve for x
340000* 2 = 5x
680000 = 5x
Divide by 5 on both sides
So x= 136,000
There were 136,000 cattle between 700 and 799 pounds
Answer:
Probability = 2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
AS the Venn diagram is not given in the question, the question is incomplete. I've attached the Venn diagram of this question below for a better understanding of the question and its solution.
In the Venn diagram we can see that
Costumers who like Cake = 10
Costumers who like Pie = 8
Costumers who like both = 4
So it means that
Total costumers who like Cake = 10 + 4 = 14
Total costumers who like Pie = 8 + 4 = 12
We have to find probabilty that a costumer who likes cakes also likes pie
So
Total costumers who like cake = 14
Costumers out of 14 who also like pie = 4
Probability = (No. of costumers who also like pie) / (Total costumers who like cake)
Probability = 4/14 = 2/7
