Marina has a bag of lemon watermelon and strawberry candies she is going to choose one candy from the bag the probability of choosing strawberry candy is 1/5 there are 16 lemon candies and eight watermelon candies in the bag how many strawberry candies are in the bag

There are 6 strawberry candies in the bag

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event occurring = (The number of required outcome) ÷ (The number of possible outcome)

The given parameters in the question are;

The number of different types of fruit in Marina's bag = 3

The type of fruits in the bag = Lemon, watermelon, strawberry

The probability of choosing strawberry, P = 1/5

The number of lemon candies in the bag = 16

The number of watermelon candies in the bag = 8

Let, 'x', represent the number of strawberry candies in the bag

Therefore, by the definition of probability, we have;

P = 1/5 = x/(x + 16 + 8)

x + 16 + 8 = 5·x

16 + 8 = 5·x - x = 4·x

24 = 4·x

∴ x = 24/4 = 6

The number of strawberry candies in the bag, x = 6 strawberry candies.

x = 25

step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

7^2+24^2=c^2

49+576=625

sqrt625=25

x=25

what are the things "represented below"?

step-by-step explanation:

nobody can if you dont give the choices
