Katharine has a bag containing 20 dried beans. Eight of the beans are painted blue. If Katharine selects a bean from the bag at random, what is the probability that she will draw a bean that is NOT blue? Al out of 3 B 2 out of 5 C 3 out of 5 D 2 out of 3

Given:

Total number of beans = 20

Number of blue of beans = 8

One bean is selected from the bag at random.

To find:

The probability that she will draw a bean that is NOT blue.

Solution:

We have,

Total number of beans = 20

Number of blue of beans = 8

Number of non-blue beans = 20 - 8

                                              = 12

Now, the probability that she will draw a bean that is NOT blue is

Therefore, the correct option is C.

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
