Answer: Choice A

3 over 12 multiplied by 7 over 11

(3/12) * (7/11)

=============================================

Explanation:

There are 3 yellow cars out of 2+7+3 = 12 total. The probability of selecting yellow is therefore 3/12. We can reduce this, but the answer choices decide not to, so we'll do the same.

After picking a yellow car, we have 12-1 = 11 left over. The amount of blue cars do not go down (because we haven't selected it yet). There are 7 blue cars out of the 11 total, so the probability of picking blue for this case is 7/11

Multiply the two fractions to get (3/12)*(7/11) which is a shorthand way of writing "3 over 12 multiplied by 7 over 11".

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$12 \frac{3}{4} \times3$

In order to find the answer, we have to convert the mixed number and then multiply by three, since how Eva needs triple the amount for today's baking.

$12 \frac{3}{4} \times3$
$12\frac{3}{4} =4\times12=48+3=51=\frac{51}{4}$
$3=\frac{3}{1}$
$\frac{51}{4} \times\frac{3}{1}$
$51\times3=153$
$4\times1=4$
$=\frac{153}{4}$

Convert the improper fraction back into a mixed number:

$\frac{153}{4}$
$\frac{153}{4} =153\div4=38\frac{1}{4}$
$=38\frac{1}{4}$

Which means Eva needs "38 1/4 pounds of flour" or option D for today's baking.
