Answer:

5/12 or 15/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he rolls two dice, he has a total probability of 6 times 6 = 36. The pairs, that he could add up to primes are (1,1), (2,1) * 2 (since he can get 1,2 as well), (1,4) * 2, (2,3) * 2, (3,4) * 2, (5, 2) * 2, (6,1) * 2, (5, 6) * 2. This is 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2, which is equal to 15. This is a total of 15/36 possible ways, which is also equal to 5/12.

In 1998, Cathy's age is equal to the sum of the four digits in the year of her birthday, then how old was Cathy in 1998?
ycow [4]

Answer:

<em>Cathy was born in 1980 and she was 18 years old in 1998</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

This is a special type of equations where all the unknowns must be integers and limited to a range [0,9] because they are the digits of a number.

Let's say Cathy was born in the year x formed by the ordered digits abcd. A number expressed by its digits can be calculated as

x=1000a+100b+10c+d

In 1998, Cathy's age was

1998-(1000a+100b+10c+d)

And it must be equal to the sum of the four digits

1998-(1000a+100b+10c+d)=a+b+c+d

Rearranging

1998=1001a+101b+11c+2d

We are sure a=1, b=9 because Cathy's age is limited to having been born in the same century and millennium. Thus

1998=1001+909+11c+2d

Operating

88=11c+2d

If now we try some values for c we notice there is only one possible valid combination, since c and d must be integers in the range [0,9]

c=8, d=0

Thus, Cathy was born in 1980 and she was 18 years old in 1998. Note that 1+9+8+0=18

6 - 2y + (-8y) + 5.1 = 0<br> (Simplify your answer. Use integers
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Simplified answer = 11.1 - 10y = 0

y = 1.11

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2y + (-8y) + 5.1 = 0

6 + 5.1 -2y -8y = 0

Add like terms

11.1 - 10y = 0

(This is simplified, but if you want to solve for y, continue)

11.1 - 10y = 0

÷10  ÷10

1.11 - y = 0

y = 1.11 because 1.11 - 1.11 is 0

I Hope That This Helps!

Instructions: Find the missing side of the triangle.<br> 24 and 7
ANTONII [103]
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this. The Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. We already have a and b, we need to find c. 24^2 + 7^2 is 625. Then, we need to find the square root of 625 to find c. The answer is 25. x = 25.
