Michael has 3 quarters, 2 dimes, and 3 nickels in his pocket. he randomly draws two coins from his pocket, one at a time, and they are both dimes. he says the probability of that occurring is 1 4 because 2 of the 8 coins are dimes. is he correct? explain.

I know someone already put in a correct answer but here’s the one I wrote,

He is incorrect because the probability of pulling a dime out of his pocket is 2/8 but if he wishes to pull a dime again his probability would be 1/7. To find the total probability you would need to times the numbers which then gives you 2/56 but if you simplify you get 1/28 meaning you have a 1 in 28 chance of pulling two dimes in a row.

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

- (2, -7)

- lines r and s and lines t and u must be parallel
