5. There are three different colored M&Ms red, green, and white. The probability of
selecting a red M&M is 2/5 and the probability
of selecting a green M&M is 1/4 so what is the
probability of selecting a white M&M?

The total number of red m&m out of all m&m is 2/5.

The total number of green m&m out of all m&m is 1/4.

if we add up 2/5 and 1/4, we can use that information to subtract from the total number of m&m to find the rest of m&m, which would be a total number of white m&m!

2/5 + 1/4 = ?

Common denominator. We will choose 20, since it is the lowest common multiple! (this means that 20/20 is the total number of all m&m, by the way. )

+ = 8/20 + 5/20 = a

20/20 - a = ?

ANSWER: 7/20

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
