Question

a bag has 5 green and some purple pencils.If the probability of drawing a green pencil from the bag is 1/3.find the number of purple pencils

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

probablity of green apple is =1/3

                                                =5/5+x

                                                =5\5+x=1/3

then x=3

Answer 2

n(G)=5; let n(P)=x
n(S)= 5+x
P(G)=5/(5+x)
P(P) =x/(5+x)
P(G) =1/3
5/(5+x) =1/3
5+x=15
x=10
