<h3>Answer:    1/6</h3>

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

Work Shown:

A = area of black square

A = 2*2

A = 4

B = area of white symbol

B = (1/3)*A

B = (1/3)*4

B = 4/3

C = total area

C = 4*2

C = 8

Divide the values of B and C to find the fraction of the total area the white symbol covers up.

B/C = (4/3)/8

B/C = (4/3) / (8/1)

B/C = (4/3) divided by (8/1)

B/C = (4/3) times (1/8)

B/C = (4*1)/(3*8)

B/C = 4/24

B/C = 1/6

A standard die is rolled two times. What is the probability that it lands on 5 both times?
klio [65]

Answer:

1/36

Step-by-step explanation:

A die can roll a 1,2,3,4,5,6

P (5) = number of 5's / total

        = 1/6

The 2nd roll is independent so the probability is the same

P (5) = number of 5's / total

        = 1/6

P(5, 5) = 1/6*1/6 = 1/36

The length of a rectangle is 4 centimeters less than twice it’s width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 34vm. What are the dime
IrinaVladis [17]

l = 2w - 4

Because we're solving for 2l + 2w, that can be simplified to

2(2w - 4) + 2w = 34

4w - 8 + 2w = 34

6w - 8 = 34

6w = 42

w = 7

Knowing this, we can input w:

2(7) + 2l = 34

14 + 2L = 34

2l = 20

l = 10

L = 10, W = 7, Option C
