There are eight marbles in a bag. Four marbles are blue (B), two marbles are red (R) and two marbles are green(G)
Steve takes a marble at random from the bag.
(i) What is the probability that Steve will take a blue marble.
(ii) What is the probability that Steve will take a green marble.
(iii) What is the probability that Steve will take a yellow marble.

i. 4/8 or 1/2, ii. 2/8 or 1/4, iii. 0/8

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem it says that there are 8 marbles in total, so for number 1 it'll be 4/8 or 1/2 since 4 of the marbles are blue. Number 2 will be 2/8 because there are only 2 green marbles and you can simplify 2/8 to 1/4. The last one would be 0 since the problem didn't mention that there are yellow marbles. Hope this helps :)

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
