Question

Answer 1

Answer:

it's c. because if u times 4x5 u get twenty and 5x4 equals 20 tooooooo wowie im so smart fr

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\sf C. \quad \dfrac{1}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The lowest common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 5 is 20.

Therefore, every 20th peach will be sour with black spots.

If 160 peaches are picked:

⇒ 160 ÷ 20 = 8

Therefore, out of a total of 160 peaches, 8 peaches will be sour with black spots.

To find the probability, simply divide the number of outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes:

$\implies \sf Probability=\dfrac{8}{160}=\dfrac{1}{20}$
