A) There are 36 possible outcomes.
b) The probability of a sum of 6 is 5/36.
c) She should roll a sum of 7 45 times.
d) She should roll a sum of 10 45 times.
Explanation
a) There are 6 outcomes for the first die and 6 outcomes for the second one. By the fundamental counting principle, there are 6*6 = 36 outcomes for both dice together.
b) The ways to get a sum of 6 are:
1&5; 2&4; 3&3; 4&2; 5&1. There are 5 possibilities out of a total of 36, or 5/36.
c) The ways to get a sum of 7 are:
1&6; 2&5; 3&4; 4&3; 5&2; 6&1. There are 6 out of 36, or 6/36=1/6. Since she is rolling the dice 150 times, she should get a sum of 6
1/6(150) = 150/6 = 45 times.
d) The ways to get a sum of 10 or more are:
4&6; 5&5; 6&4; 5&6; 6&5; 6&6
There are 6 ways out of 36, or 6/36 = 1/6. Since she is rolling the dice 150 times, she should get a sum of 10 or more
1/6(150) = 150/6 = 45 times.
Let the youngest sister be n years
Lana will be 2n years, as her youngest sister is half her age
The age of the twins separately will be 2n-2 as they are 2 years younger than Lana
So, the equation looks like this:
n + 2n + 2(2n-2) = 45
Now solve for n:
3n + 4n - 4 = 45
7n - 4 = 45
7n = 49
n = 7
So the youngest sister is 7, Lana is 14 and the twins are 12. 14 + 12 + 12 + 7 =45
First, you divide 58 bars by 4. The answer will be 14 boxes with 2 bars remaining in the box.
In this question there are several important information's worth noting.Based on these information's the answer can be easily found. It is given that the total capacity of the tank is 24000 gallons. in 24 hours or in 1 day the amount of water used is 650 gallons. The question requires us to find the time it will take to use 2/3 rd of the water in the tank.
then
2/3 rd water in respect to total water in tank = (2/3) * 24000
= 16000
So 2/3 rd water of full tank is equivalent to 16000 gallons.
Now
650 gallons of water is used in = 24 hours
So
16000 gallons of water will be used in = (24/650) * 16000
= 590.77 hours
So it will take 590.77 hours to consume 2/3rd of the total water present in the tank.
This problem can be expressed through the equation:
x+3x+10= 90
To solve it we subtract 10 on both sides
→x+3x=80
Add x and 3x
→4x=80
And divide each side by 4
→x=80/4
→x=20
ANSWER:
20
