In a bag of apples there are 4 green apples and 2 red apples. Bethany takes a green apple out of the bag and does not replace it. She then takes another apple out of the bag. What is the probability that the second apple is red?

2/5 = 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Bethany already one green apple out, and we have 3 green apples and 2 red ones, so, if we want to know what is the probability that the second apple is red we will apply the follow formula: x/n, being X the favorable cases and n the total of cases, in this problem X is 2, because we want to now the RED apples, and N is the total of apples, being n = 2 red apples + 3 green apples = 5, the formula now looks like this: 2/5=? , we resolve it by doing the division and multiplying for 100, (2/5)100 =40 and now we add a % symbol, (2/5)100=40%, and that´s the answer!

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
