Abasket of fruit contains 4 apples 6 bananas 6 oranges and 10 kiwi fruits a piece of fruit is chosen at random. find the probability of each event. write each probability 3 ways. an orange is picked an apple or a banana is picked. a grape is picked.

Well first we need to see how much fruit there is. 4+6+6+10= 26; so here are the chances for each: 4/26, 6/26, 6/26, 10/26. So now lets look at the questions themselves. "An orange is picked" There were 6 oranges, 6/26 chances (3/13 if they want simplified). "An apple or a banana is picked" 4a+6b=10fruits/26total; 10/26 (5/13 for simplified). "A grape is picked" Well, theres no grapes right? so 0/26 chance. So out of your three questions heres your answers rounded to the nearest percentages:

Orange: 23%
Apple/banana: 38%
Grape: 0%

Orange: 3:13, 3 to 13, 3/13
Apple: 2:13, 2 to 13, 2/13
Banana: 3:13, 3 to 13, 3/13
Grape: 0:26, 0 to 26, 0/26 - there are no grapes in the fruit basket 

To simplify the equation, Erika must isolate the x. This means to get the x by itself. In order to do so, Erika needs to divide 50x by fifty to undo the multiplication. What is done on on side, must be done on the other by the Division Property of Equality. Therefore, Erika must divide seventeen by fifty as well. The answer Erika should end up with is x=0.34
