Two dice are tossed together. What is the probability of getting an odd number on the second die and a total of five?

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% .

John is going camping, and he needs to buy a tent. The outdoor store has one that cost $90, but it's on sale for 25% off. What i
pochemuha

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Okay so, im not the best at explaining, but so we have a percentage. its 25%. you want to take the 25% and put it over 100 because a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. so it will be written as 25%/100</em>

<em />

<em>divide 25 by 100 and you get 0.25, correct? so that's one step further towards the answer.</em>

<em>then we write x/90 because we don't know (well we do) what we're gonna put. but, we're gonna multiply 0.25 by 90 and we get 22.5, which is equivalent to </em><em>22.50</em><em>.</em>

1/2 + 5/3 - 1<br>------------------<br> 3/4
Sav [38]
Hey there :)

\frac{ \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{5}{3} -1 }{ \frac{3}{4} }
      ↓ Is the same as
\frac{1}{2} + \frac{5}{3} -1 ÷ \frac{3}{4}

Since it is a division by fraction, we can multiply by what is called the reciprocal
( The attached picture might help you )
( \frac{1}{2} + \frac{5}{3} - 1 ) × \frac{4}{3} 
     ↓ For this part, we need the common denominator, which is 6
\frac{1(3)}{2(3)}+ \frac{5(2)}{32)}  \frac{1(6)}{1(6)} × \frac{4}{3}

\frac{3}{6}+ \frac{10}{6}  - \frac{6}{6} × \frac{4}{3}
\frac{7}{6} × \frac{4}{3}
\frac{14}{9} =  1\frac{5}{9}
  ↑

A bearing, measured at 1.234 inches with a caliper, must be replaced. Since the bearings are sized in 64ths of an inch, find the
Ganezh [65]
We have
1.234 in-----> 1+(0.234) in

we know that
1/64=0.015625
so
0.234/0.015625=14.98-----> 15
15/64-----> 0.234

therefore
1.234 in is equal to -----------> 1 15/64 in

the answer is
1 15/64 in
