In a game of checkers there are 12 red pieces and 12 black game pieces. julio is setting up the board to begin playing. what is the probability that the first two checkers he pulls from the box at random will be two red checkers . can you show me how to work this out ?

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
