<p>I have NO clue on how to do these! Help?</p>

<p>Did you read the hints and explanations? Those are very helpful :)</p>

<p>The first one I got most of it, but stuck towards the end. I need help as well. :(. Same for the second question. Why is the SAT so ambiguous?! :’(</p>

4

<p>Take 15 oz of each dye.</p>

<p>In an orange dye
red:yellow = 3:2 = 9oz:6oz</p>

<p>In a green dye
blue:yellow = 2:1 = 10oz:5oz</p>

<p>++++++++++++</p>

<p>Combining the two dyes will result in 30oz of mix containing
6oz + 5oz =11oz of yellow dye.</p>

<p>11oz is 11/30 of 30oz.</p>

<p>For the office vs cubicle problem, we list all possible arrangements using M for any man and W for any woman.</p>

<p>Office: M M M Cubicle: W W
Office: M M W Cubicle: M W
Office: M M W Cubicle: W M
Office: M W M Cubicle: M W
Office: M W M Cubicle: W M
Office: W M M Cubicle: M W
Office: W M M Cubicle: W M
Office: W W M Cubicle: M M
Office: W M W Cubicle: M M
Office: M W W Cubicle: M M</p>

<p>So there would be ten different arrangements, six of which have 2 M and 1 W in the office.
So the probability of 2 M and 1 W in the office is 6/10 or 3/5.</p>

<p>^^ Similar approach, but looking at the cubicles only:</p>
