Question

PLS HELP ;(

A bowl contains candies of the same size in three flavors: orange, strawberry, and pineapple. If the probability of randomly pulling out an orange candy is fraction 2 over 8, and the probability of randomly pulling out a strawberry candy is fraction 3 over 8, what is the probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy?
fraction 3 over 8

fraction 4 over 8

fraction 5 over 8

fraction 6 over 8

Answer 5

That picture is so creeeepy -_-
But anyway, the problem :D Hmm let's see.

Answer 6

xD

Answer 7

Lemme ask you real quick,
What are the odds of pulling out an `orange` or `strawberry` or `pineapple` candy?

Answer 8

well orange is the 2/8 and strawberry is 3/8 but pineapple idk

Answer 9

No no, I mean...
So let's assume the person picking these candies doesn't have fat sausage fingers.
He'll never FAIL to grab a candy when he reaches in ya?

So the odds of getting one flavor or one of the other flavors is always 100% yes?
He'll always grab a candy.
That's what I mean by OR.

Answer 10

So his odds of getting candy are 8 out of 8.

Answer 11

oh hmm

Answer 12

If you think of it in terms of fractions maybe it's a little easier.
We need to end up with \(\Large\rm \frac{8}{8}\) with our three individual odds.

Answer 13

So far we have \(\Large\rm \frac{2}{8}\) and \(\Large\rm \frac{3}{8}\)

Answer 14

so then the pineapple would be 3/8

Answer 15

Ah yes! Good job! \c:/

Answer 16

xD ty I have more could you help with some?

Answer 17

these dont seem as complicated but still mess with me

The figure below shows a shaded rectangular region inside a large rectangle:

A rectangle of length 10 units and width 5 units is shown. Inside this rectangle is another rectangle of length 6 units and width 3 units placed symmetrically inside the larger rectangle. The smaller rectangle is shaded gray.

What is the probability that a point chosen inside the large rectangle is not in the shaded region?
18%
36%
42%
64%

Answer 20

420%%%%

Answer 21

I will attach the photo

Answer 22

confusing? xD

Answer 23

So when we talk about a point, we're talking about somewhere inside of that space.
Do you remember how to find the amount of SPACE something takes up?
We call that area.

Answer 24

ya area i know what that is and the perimeter which im pretty sure were not worried about lol

Answer 25

How much space does each rectangle take up? :)
Gimme the areas.

Answer 26

3 and 6 it says

Answer 27

No, those are side lengths.

Answer 28

the 5 and 10?

Answer 29

No, those are the other side lengths...

Answer 30

:?

Answer 31

Do you remember how to calculate `area of a rectangle`?

Answer 32

L*W right?

Answer 33

yes :3 so what are the areas?

Answer 34

crunch the numbers

Answer 35

ohh ok 1 sec then xD

Answer 36

18?

Answer 37

Good, and the other one?

Answer 38

50

Answer 39

AHHH the colors got messed up :( UGH
