-- The probability of rolling a 22 is zero. That result is impossible, because the sides are labeled with single digits 1 through 6 . Since 22 is not printed anywhere on the cube, it can never come up.
-- The probability of rolling a<em> 2</em> , however, is <em> 1/6</em> . <em>(B)</em>
<em></em>
The -probability of rolling something you want is always
<em>(the number of different possible results that you like) </em>
divided by
<em>(the total number of different possible results)</em>
Answer:
5/8 is smaller.
Step-by-step explanation:
A ratio is just a different type of fraction, a 5:8 ratio means 5/8 which is 0.625. A 7:9 ratio equals 7/9 which is 0.777777
Then to compare them you see which is smaller or bigger.
0.77777 is bigger than 0.625 so we know that 0.77777777 which was the 7:9 ratio is the bigger one.
The inequality can be:

Now you divide both sides by 150 to get the #of boxes.

Lastly, x is 20. So the maximum amount of boxes that the freight elevator can hold is 20
