Each basket at the farm stand holds 3 pounds of potatoes or 6 pounds of tomatoes. if there are 21 pounds of potatoes and 6 pounds of tomatoes, how many baskets are needed?

8 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we can simply divide each number by the amount of vegetables are needed.

6/6=1. We only need 1 basket for tomatoes.

21/3=7. We need 7 baskets for potatoes.

7+1=8 We need 8 total baskets.

Hope this helps! :D

8 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

21 lb potatoes in 3-lb baskets

21/3 = 7

7 baskets

6 lb of tomatoes in 6-lb baskets

6/6 = 1

You need 7 baskets for the potatoes and 1 basket for the tomatoes.

Total 7 + 1 = 8

8 baskets

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
