A circle has a total of 360°, if Samantha is eating 12° wedges off of it every day, then how many times does 12° go into 360°? 360/12, that many.
Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:
Tool #1: 37-1/2 percent means 0.375
Tool #2: In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".
====================================
Your question says
"37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".
Translate it with your tools:
0.375 times blank = 36 .
Divide each side by 0.375: Blank = 36 / 0.375 .
Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division). Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.
To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):
Do exactly what the question says.
Multiply (0.375) times (your answer). If you get 36,
then your answer is correct. If not, it's not.
To solve this problem, let us recall that the formula for
probability is:
Probability = total number of successful events / total
events
Where in this case, an event is considered to be successful
if the sum is 3 on the pair of six sided dice.
First, let us calculate for the total number of events. There
are 6 numbers per dice, therefore the total number of combinations is:
total events = 6 * 6 = 36
Next, we calculate for the total number of combinations
that result in a sum of 3. We can identify that there are only two cases that
result in sum of 3. That is:
1st case: first dice rolls 1, second dice
rolls 2
2nd case: first dice rolls 2, second dice
rolls 1
Hence, total number of successful events = 2. Therefore the
probability is:
Probability = 2 / 36 = 1 / 18 = 0.0556 = 5.56%
Step-by-step explanation:
√a is defined only when a >= 0.
Therefore for √4x * √(x + 2) to be defined, both 4x and x + 2 must be non-negative.
When 4x >= 0, x >= 0.
When x + 2 >= 0, x >= -2.
x >= 0 and x >= -2, therefore we have x >= 0. (D)
The equation would be 3l-5.
