A coin-operated machine sells plastic rings. It contains 11 orange rings, 15 green rings, 0 pink rings, and 5 yellow rings. Patricia puts a coin into the machine. Find the theoretical probability she gets a yellow ring. Express your answer as a decimal. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest thousandth

16.129

Step-by-step explanation:

11+15+5=31

5÷31=0.16129

0.16129x100

=16.129

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
