A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece
a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2
a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft
b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft
longest piece (c) = 27 ft
In probability, there are hint clues that you must be vigilant of. When it tells you to find the probability of event 1 'or' event 2, you must ADD their individual probabilities. When it tells you to find the probability of event 1 'and' event 2, you must MULTIPLY their individual probabilities.
Now, you have two dices. You are asked to find the probability of getting a face of 3, 4 or 5. The probability of each face of a dice is 1/6, because there are a total of 6 faces. When you use two dices, it becomes 2/12 or still 1/6. So, the total probability of getting either 3, 4 or 5 is: 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/2. However, you still have to multiply this with the total probability of getting a prime numbers which are 1, 2, 3 and 5. Thus, 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/3
Hence, the total probability would be 1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3 or 33%

Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of paint = 14 gallons
the paint was distributed equally among 4 classes
a. therefore each class would get 
gallons of paint
= 
gallons each
b.Three classes will use 3× paint of each class
= 
= 10(1/2) gallons
c. 4 student paint 30 square-foot wall the each student would paint
= 7(1/2) square-foot wall.
d. each student will paint 
of the wall since there are 4 students.
