A bag contains 24 tennis ball, some are white and some are green. If a ball is chosen at random and probability chosen green is 5/8.how many green ball are there in the bag.
5/8 * 24 = 15
Let's assume the number of green balls in the bag is "g".
The total number of tennis balls in the bag is 24.
The probability of choosing a green ball is given as 5/8.
To find the number of green balls, we can set up the probability equation:
probability of choosing green ball = number of green balls / total number of balls
5/8 = g/24
Cross multiplying, we get:
5 * 24 = 8 * g
120 = 8g
Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
g = 120/8 = 15
Therefore, there are 15 green balls in the bag.
To find how many green balls are there in the bag, we need to set up an equation using the given information.
Let's let the number of green balls in the bag be represented by "g". Since we know that the probability of choosing a green ball is 5/8, we can set up the equation:
g/24 = 5/8
To solve for "g", we need to cross-multiply:
8g = 24 * 5
8g = 120
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
g = 120/8
g = 15
Therefore, there are 15 green balls in the bag.
