A bag contains six green balls, eight red balls, and three yellow balls. If one ball is randomly selected from the ball, which of the following is the probability that the ball is green?

A. 10/17

B. 3/17

C. 2/17

D. 6/17

Answer Explanation:

The probability of finding a green ball is given by

Total number of balls in the bag=6+8+3=17 balls

Therefore, the probability of drawing a green ball from the bag containing 17 balls is 6/17.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

Q #1: -2/3, -0.5, -1.5, -4/9 Of the number listed above, which number is the greatest?

A. -0.5

B. -4/9

C. -1.5

D. -2/3

Answer Explanation

Before finding the greatest number from the data set, the numbers need to be in fraction form.

-0.5=-5/10

-1.5=-15/10

The set of numbers becomes -2/3, -5/10, -15/10, -4/9

Now the least common denominator for 3, 10, and 9 is 90, which will be used to multiplied by the given fractions as follows:

-2/3*90=-60

-5/10*90=-45

-15/10*90=-135

-4/9*90=-40

From the above evaluations, the resulting numbers arranged from the smallest to the largest is -135, -60, -45, -40. Thus, the greatest number from the data set is -40, with a corresponding fraction of -4/9.
Q #2: A circle has an area of 169 π in2. Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi ( )?

A. 13 π in

B. 26 π in

C. 7.5 π in

D. 20 π in

Answer Explanation

We need to find the radius of the circle in order to find circumference of the circle. If we let r to be radius of the circle, then

Substituting 169π in place of area

Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields

The radius of the circle from the given area is 13 in. and the circumference of the circle is given by the relation:
Q #3: Which of the following is the value of x in the equation below

A. x= -4 or x=2

B. x= -2 or x=3

C. x =-2 or x= 4

D. x= -2 or x= 1

Answer Explanation

we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.

First, add 2 to both sides of equation

The absolute conditions are:

If , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=10, which is greater 0.

The first condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

The second condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

Then, the value of x is 3 or -2.
