A box contains 2 dozen pairs of contact lenses ,of which 8 pairs are tinted. A pair of contact lenses is drawn at random from the box. Find the probability that it is not tinted. What is the 2/3 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a box contains 2 dozen pairs of contact lenses ,of which 8 pairs are tinted.

1 dozen = 12 units

Total pairs of contact lenses

Tinted pairs of contact lenses = 8

Pairs of contact lenses not tinted = 24 - 8 = 16

If a pair of contact lenses is drawn at random from the box, then we need to find the probability that it is not tinted.

Therefore, the required probability is

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
