There is a bag with only red marbles and blue marbles. The probability of randomly choosing a red marble is 7 8 . There are 72 marbles in total in the bag and each is equally likely to be chosen. Work out how many red marbles there must be.

63 red marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the probability of drawing a red marble is 7/8, the number of red marbles = 7/8 * 72

= 7 * 9

= 63.

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
