Answer: 1/8</h3>
In decimal form, 1/8 = 0.125 which converts to 12.5%

Work Shown:
The 63 should be 6^3. There are 6 choices per slot, and 3 slots, so 6^3 = 216 different outcomes.
Here are all of the ways to add to 11 if we had 3 dice
- sum = 1+4+6 = 11
- sum = 1+5+5 = 11
- sum = 1+6+4 = 11
- sum = 2+3+6 = 11
- sum = 2+4+5 = 11
- sum = 2+5+4 = 11
- sum = 2+6+3 = 11
- sum = 3+2+6 = 11
- sum = 3+3+5 = 11
- sum = 3+4+4 = 11
- sum = 3+5+3 = 11
- sum = 3+6+2 = 11
- sum = 4+1+6 = 11
- sum = 4+2+5 = 11
- sum = 4+3+4 = 11
- sum = 4+4+3 = 11
- sum = 4+5+2 = 11
- sum = 4+6+1 = 11
- sum = 5+1+5 = 11
- sum = 5+2+4 = 11
- sum = 5+3+3 = 11
- sum = 5+4+2 = 11
- sum = 5+5+1 = 11
- sum = 6+1+4 = 11
- sum = 6+2+3 = 11
- sum = 6+3+2 = 11
- sum = 6+4+1 = 11
There are 27 ways to add to 11 using 3 dice. This is out of 216 total outcomes of 3 dice being rolled.
So, 27/216 = (1*27)/(8*27) = 1/8 is the probability of getting 3 dice to add to 11.

Find the total cost of producing 5 widgets. Widget Wonders produces widgets. They have found that the cost, c(x), of making x widgets is a quadratic function in terms of x. The company also discovered that it costs $15.50 to produce 3 widgets, $23.50 to produce 7 widgets, and $56 to produce 12 widgets.
OK...so we have
a(7)^2 + b(7) + c = 23.50 → 49a + 7b + c = 23.50 (1)
a(3)^2 + b(3) + c = 15.50 → 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 subtracting the second equation from the first, we have
40a + 4b = 8 → 10a + b = 2 (2)
Also
a(12)^2 + b(12) + c = 56 → 144a + 12b + c = 56 and subtracting (1) from this gives us
95a + 5b = 32.50
And using(2) we have
95a + 5b = 32.50 (3)
10a + b = 2.00 multiplying the second equation by -5 and adding this to (3) ,we have
45a = 22.50 divide both sides by 45 and a = 1/2 and using (2) to find b, we have
10(1/2) + b = 2
5 + b = 2 b = -3
And we can use 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 to find "c"
9(1/2) + 3(-3) + c = 15.50
9/2 - 9 + c = 15.50
-4.5 + c = 15.50
c = 20
So our function is
c(x) = (1/2)x^2 - (3)x + 20
And the cost to produce 5 widgets is = $17.50
Given ,
7/3 = n/21
We need to find the value of n,
Cross multiplying,we get
3n = 21 x 7
=> 3n = 147
=> n = 147/3
=> n = 49 is the required answer
