Leslie has two cups containing different-colored paper clips. The first cup contains 7 pink paper clips and 3 blue paper clips. The second cup contains 3 black paper clips, 1 red paper clip, and 6 orange paper clips. What is the probability that Leslie will randomly select a blue paper clip from the first cup and then randomly select an orange paper clip from the second cup? *

9/50 = 0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

The first cup has 10 paper clips, 3 of which are blue.

The second cup has 10 paper clips, 6 of which are orange.

So the probability is:

P = (3/10) (6/10)

P = 9/50

P = 0.18

the last choice

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
