This is a proportion question.

0.5:40 miles :: 5:x

Translated into division you get 0.5/40 = 5/x          Cross multiply

0.5 x = 40 * 5                   combine the right

0.5x = 200                       divide by 0.5

0.5x/0.5 = 200/0.5          Divide

x = 400

Answer: The two cities are 400 miles apart

The sample space has 36 possible pairs from 1,1 1,2 1,3 up to 6,5 and 6,6

(a). Three pairs add to 4 1,3 2,2 and 3,1 so P(4) = 3/36 = 1/12

(b). 6 pairs add to 7 so P(7) = 6/36 = 1/6

(c) 15 pairs add to less than 7 so P(<7) = 15/36 = 5/12

Your English teacher has decided to randomly assign poems for the class to read. The syllabus includes four poems by Shakespeare
Tresset [83]
The probability of event A and B to both occur is denoted as P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A). It is the probability that Event A occurs times the probability that Event B occurs, given that Event A has occurred.

So, to find the probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare and by Tennyson, let Event A = the event that a Shakespeare poem will be assigned to you; and let Event B = the event that the second poem that will be assigned to you will be by Tennyson.

At first, there are a total of 13 poems that would be randomly assigned in your class. There are 4 poems by Shakespeare, thus P(A) is 4/13.
After the first selection, there would be 13 poems left. Therefore, P(B|A) = 2/12
Based on the rule of multiplication,
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A)P(A ∩ B) = 4/13 * 2/12
P(A ∩ B) = 8/156
P(A ∩ B) = 2/39

The probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare, then a poem by Tennyson is 2/39 or 5.13%.
