Afish take contains 16 goldfish and 24 guppies. if you randomly select 2 fish, what is the probability that they are both goldfish

The probability of drawing a goldfish on the first draw is 16 / ( 16 + 24 ), or 16/40, or 2/5. Supposing that the first fish drawn is actually a goldfish, then there are 15 goldfish left among 39 fish, and the probability of drawing a goldfish on the 2nd draw is 15/39, or 5/13. The (joint) probability of drawing 2 goldfish on the 1st 2 draws, without replacement, is (5/13)(2/5) = 2/13.

the word superfluous means unnecessary

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
