A jar contains 12 caramels, 7 mints and 16 dark chocolates. What is the probability of selecting a mint? What is the probability of not selecting a carmel?

23/35

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability ratio will be expresses with denominators of 12+7+16=35

Probability of selecting carmel is 12/35

Probability of selecting mints is 7/35=1/5

Probability of selecting chocolates is 16/35

Probability of not selecting a carmel will be given by 1-probability of selecting a carmel since maximum probability is always 1 or 100%

Probability of not selecting a camel will be 1-12/35=35/35-12/35=23/35

Alternatively, the probability of not selecting a carmel is equivalent to the sum of probability of either selecting a dark chocolate or mint which will be 7/35+16/35=23/35

The answers are the same, 23/35

answer: 60

step-by-step explanation:

1/2a + (2/3×30)   = 50

1/2a + 20 = 50

1/2a = 30

a = 60

10/60

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 10 by 60 the answer is 0.166666 while if you divide or solve the other problems it equals 0.6
