Probability of an event =
(number of ways the event can happen) / (total number of possible outcomes) .
Well, the total number of possible outcomes is easy. It's
(6 possibilities for the first cube) x (6 possibilities for the 2nd cube)
= 36 total possible ways for two cubes to roll.
Now, how many of those possibilities show either 4 or 7 ?
Well, here's how a 4 can come up:
1 . . . 3
2 . . . 2
3 . . . 1
and here's how a 7 can come up:
1 . . . 6
2 . . . 5
3 . . . 4
4 . . . 3
5 . . . 2
6 . . . 1 .
So there are 9 ways all together for Lenny to be successful.
The probability is (9/36) .
That's 1/4 , or 25% .
Answer is D.
When you have an exponent that is a fraction, the denominator is the number you root the base by. In this case the exponent is 3/5, so you fifth root 13 cubed.
<span>A) 2a + 3b = 12
B) ab = 6 solving for a
B) a = 6 / b then we substitute this into equation A)
</span><span>A) 12 / b + 3b = 12 </span><span>multiplying this by "b"
A) 12 + 3b^2 = 12b
A) 3b^2 -12b +12= 0 dividing by "3"
A) b^2 -4b + 4 = 0
Factoring
(b-2) * (b-2) = 0
b = 2
Since b = 2 then a = 3
</span>NOW, we put these numbers into:
<span>8a^3 +27b^3
</span>
8*3*3*3 + 27*2*2*2
216 + 216
The answer is 512
