Answer:

There is a 1/4 chance of Missy rolling a prime number on both cubes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rolling one 6-sided cube, Missy has a 3/6 or 1/2 chance of landing on a prime number because the prime numbers between 1 and 6 (inclusive) are 2,3 and 5. When Missy rolls 2, 6-sided cubes, however, the chances of that happening lessens, and we multiply 1/2 by 1/2 as a result. Therefore, when Missy rolls two 6-sided cubes, there is a 1/4 chance of Missy rolling a prime number on both cubes.

Given
s=16t^2
where
s=distance in feet travelled (downwards) since airborne with zero vertical velocity and zero air-resistance
t=time in seconds after release

Here we're given
s=144 feet
=>
s=144=16t^2
=>
t^2=144/16=9
so
t=3
Ans. after 3 seconds, the object hits the ground 144 ft. below.
