Answer:

  • C. 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between police station and the fire station be x.

According to question we have:

  • the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station,
  • the distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

It can be expressed as:

  • 5 = 2x - 3

Solve the equation for x:

  • 2x = 5 + 3
  • 2x = 8
  • x = 4

<u>Correct choice</u> is C

N76 [4]

Answer:

C. 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability is the probability that is obtained by dividing the number of times the required outcome has occurred by the total number of trials.

In the experiment given the color red is one of the six possible outcomes and the next time the experiment is performed  the number of trials would be 1

so the  experimental probability would be 1/6

If the previous number of trials were given then the probability would have been different.
