Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

we are given

Event-A:

they are randomly handed either a blue, yellow, green, or red card

so, total number of cards =3

probability of selecting green cards = (number of green card)/(total number of cards)

probability of selecting green cards is (1)/(3)

Let's assume

p(A)=(1)/(3)

Event-B:

there are 8 boys and 12 girls in the class

total number of students =8+12=20

number of boys =8

probability of a boy = (number of boys)/(total number of students)

p(B)=(8)/(20)

Since, events A and B are independent

so,

probability that the student chosen by Mr. Jackson will be a boy with a green card = p(A)*p(B)

probability that the student chosen by Mr. Jackson will be a boy with a green card = (8)/(20) *(1)/(3)

=(8)/(20) *(1)/(3)

=(2)/(15)

probability that the student chosen by Mr. Jackson will be a boy with a green card is (2)/(15)...........Answer

A certain type of bamboo plant grows 1.2 feet in 1 day at that rate how many feet could the plant grow in 0.5 day

Answers

in .5 day, since .5 is half of one day , the bamboo will grow only .5× more so...
1.2÷5 = 0.6ft

The given bamboo can grow 0.6 feet in five days.

Ratio and Proportion

You can use the provided rate to calculate how many feet the bamboo plant could grow in 0.5 days. You can set up a proportion to determine the growth in 0.5 days if the plant grows 1.2 feet in one day.

So we can have 1.2 * 0.5 = x to represent the growth in 0.5 days.

x = 1.2 * 0.5

x = 6.0

As a result, at the specified rate, the bamboo plant might grow 0.6 feet in 0.5 days.
