A box contains 3 pens, 2 markers, and 1 highlighter. Tara selects one item at random and does not return it to the box. She then selects a second item at random. What is the probability that Tara selects 1 pen and then 1 marker?

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 6 items in the beginning. In the first selection, there is a 3/6 chance that she selects a pen. Since she does not return it to the box, there are 5 items left. The possibility to select a marker is 2/5. Simply multiply the two fractions. You will get 1/5.

step-by-step explanation:

if x = 2 you have to find x to finish the problem

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
