1 2/3 + 1 5/6
We’ll start by converting the 2/3 to 6ths so we have a common denominator.
Look at the denominator first. 3 x 2 is 6, so we need to multiply the numerator by 2 as well. 2/3 = 4/6.
So we have 1 4/6 + 1 5/6 = 2 9/6
But you know they’ll want you to reduce that so it’s 3 3/6...or 3 1/2.
Let me know where you have questions.
Answer:
91/216
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of getting a 4 in the first three rolls is 1 minus the probability of not getting a 4 on any of the rolls.
P(at least one 4) = 1 − P(no 4s)
P(at least one 4) = 1 − (5/6)³
P(at least one 4) = 91/216
Alternatively, you can calculate it this way.
The probability of getting a 4 on the first roll is 1/6.
The probability of getting a 4 on the second roll is (5/6) (1/6) = 5/36.
The probability of getting a 4 on the third roll is (5/6) (5/6) (1/6) = 25/216.
The probability of any of the three events is 1/6 + 5/36 + 25/216 = 91/216.
Answer:
25x-25y
Step-by-step explanation:
The distributive property tells us how to solve expressions in the form of a(b + c).
So, a*b and a*c would be the answer.
25*x and 25*y
Good luck on your assignment. :)
Answer x = 12 and y = 9
Step by step
First identify the equations
The sum of two numbers is 21
x + y = 21
Change to y intercept for ease of math
y = 21 - x ( call this equation a)
Three times the larger is equal to four times the smaller
3x = 4y (call this equation b)
Now substitute the value of y = 21 -x into equation b
3x = 4(21-x)
Distribute
3x = 84 - 4x
Now we want to isolate x by adding 4x to each side
3x + 4x = 84 -4x + 4x
Combine like terms
7x = 84
Now solve for x by dividing both sides by 7
x = 12
Now to find y
Using equation a from above
y = 21 - x
Substitute our x value of 12 into equation
y = 21 - 12
solve for y
y = 9
Now check your work
x = 12 and y = 9
The sum of two numbers is 21
12 + 9 = 21
Three times the larger (x) is equal to four times the smaller (y)
3x12 = 4x9
36 = 36
Problem solved!!
