<p>24.) There are 120 red marbles and 80 blue marbles in a bag that contains 200 marbles. If only blue marbles are added to the bag so that the probability of randomly drawing a blue marble from the bag becomes 2/3, how many blue marbles must be added to the bag?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>BTW: (i checked studyhall already, the solution is either vague or missing)</p>
<p>24) Probabiliy: #blue/#total, so 2/3=(80+b)/(200+b)
Cross multiply: 400+2b=240+3b
Solve for b: 160=b</p>
<p>25) 5 integers, average 350, so total # is 5*350= 1750
99+102+103+104+x= 1750 (103 and 104 are smallest possible so the third can be as large as possible) x=1342</p>
<p>25) The answer is A: d/8c. It says the price is "d dollars for 8 ounces," so that translates to-- price of one ounce = d/8. (the for is used like "per" in this situation, and this means divided by). Each ounce makes c cups of coffee, so in order to find the price for one cup of coffee we have to divide d/8 by c. This makes it d/8c.</p>
<p>24) If the new probability of choosing a blue marble is 2/3, then the new probability of choosing a red marble becomes 1- (2/3) = 1/3. Since the number of red marbles stays the same, we multiply 120 by 3 to get the total number of marbles. This gives us 360, but we have to subtract the original amount (200) to get 160.</p>
<p>Gandhiji, I highly doubt that CB will require you to know the different unit conversions. If any question involves them, then you will be given the information needed.</p>
