A flower bed contains 52 roses and 48 tulips. Two flowers have wilted, what is the probability that the flower is a tulip.

Respuesta :

First, I add 52 to 48 to get the total amount of flowers.  52 + 48 = 100.  Out of those 100, there are 48 tulips.  If one flower wilted, the probability of it being a tulip would be 48/100, or 0.48.  If a second flower wilted (with only 99 flowers left, and only 47 tulips left), the probability of it being a tulip is 47/99 or 0.474747...  To get the probability of both of those being tulips, multiply the two together.  48/100 * 47/99 = 2256/9900 (then, simplify to 376/1650)

I hope this helps! Can I have Brainliest? :)
