There are 12 peaches in a bananas in a fruit basket you get a snack for yourself and three of your friends by choosing four of the pieces of fruit at random .what is the probability that all four peaches ?

10.2% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 peaches and 8 bananas for a total of 20 pieces of fruit.

So we can write it:

=   = .102 or 10.2% chance

For ease multiply all numerators (top numbers) together, then multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together, and then divide.

12 * 11 * 10 * 9 = 11880

20 * 19 * 18 * 17 = 116,280

We start with 12 peaches and 20 total fruit, as we select a peach the number of peaches and total fruit goes down by one. We do this 4 times because you draw 4 fruits. If you select 1 fruit your chances of it being a peach are 12/20, each time you select a fruit the chances of it being a peach go down because you have 1 less total fruit, and 1 less peach. This is why you multiply each probability together.

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
