Probability = (number of ways to succeed) / (total possible outcomes) .

The total possible results of rolling two dice is

   (6 on the first cube) x (6 on the second one) = 36 possibilities.

How many are successful ?  I need you to clarify something first.
You said that the 'second die' shows an odd number.  When a pair
of dice is rolled, the problem usually doesn't distinguish between them. 
And in fact, you said that they're "tossed together" (like a spinach and
arugula salad ?) so I would understand that they would lose their identity
unless they were, say, painted different colors, and we wouldn't know
which one is the second one.

Oh well, I'll just work it both ways:

First way: 
Two identical dice are tossed.
The total is 5 and ONE cube shows an odd number.

How can that happen ?

1 ... 4
4 ... 1
3 ... 2
2 ... 3         

Four possibilities.  Probability = 4/36 = 1/9 = 11.1% .

=======================================

Second way:
 
A black and a white cube are tossed together.
The total is 5 and the white cube shows an odd number.

How can that happen:

B ... W
4 .... 1
2 .... 3

Only two possibilities.  Probability = 2/36 = 1/18 = 5.6% .

Rosa makes a small flower garden outside the clubhouse the area of the garden is 851 m² if the length of the garden is 23 m what
attashe74 [19]
So the garden has a rectangular shape, of 23 m of length, x meters of width and 851 m^2 area, the area is calculated with this formula:
area = length*width
lets solve for width:
width = area/length
if we substitute our data we have:
width = 851/23
width = 37
therefore the width of the garden is 37 m

Show your work and explain in a full sentence how 4 2/6 is equivalent to 3 8/6
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Multiply the whole numbers by their denominators and then add the product to their numerators. You will notice that they equal the same improper fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 * 6 = 24.

24 + 2 = 26.

4 2/6 as an improper fraction equals 26/6.

3 * 6 = 18.

18 + 8 = 26.

3 8/6 as in improper fraction equals 26/6 as well.

So that is how they are equivalent.

So for this problem we are looking for a sum (total). So first we are going to round 25.65 to 25.7 and round 14.23 to 14.2
