In a throw of 2 fair dice, there are 6*6=36 equiprobability outcomes.
To get a sum of 5, there are 4 ways, (1,4),(2,3),(3,2),(4,1) with probability of 4/36=1/9
To get at least one 5, there are 6+6-1=11 outcomes (note (5,5) has been counted in both, so subtracted from sum). The probability is 11/36
Since the two events are mutually exclusive (once we have a five, the sum can no longer be 5), we can add the probabilities to get the probability of one event or the other.
P(sum of 5 OR at least one 5)=1/9+11/36=4/36+11/36=15/36=5/9

Answer:
6 1/2 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A carton has a length of 2 1/6 feet
The width is 1 1/5 feet
The height is 2 1/2 feet
Therefore the volume of the carton can be calculated as follows
= length × width × height
= 2 1/6 × 1 1/5 × 2 1/2
= 13/6 × 6/5 × 5/2
= 390/60
= 13/2
= 6 1/2 cubic feet
Hence the volume of the carton is 6 1/2 cubic feet
