Two 6-sided dice are rolled at the same time. How many outcomes correspond to the event that the sum of the numbers is 5?

1 answer:

3 0

Well I don't know !
Let's count them.

You can get a 5 if the cubes
fall in any one of these ways:

1 . . . 4
2 . . . 3
3 . . . 2
4 . . . 1

That looks like four possibilities.
Can you think of any others that I missed ?

Mason has 29.8 ounces of peanuts. He eats 5 ounces of the peanuts. Then he divides the rest of the peanuts equally among 4 frien

Alright, so the first step we are gonna do to solve this problem is subtract since Mason ate 5 ounces of the peanuts and so, we need to subtract 5 out of 29.8.

29.8 - 5 = 24.8

So, now there is 24.8 ounces.

Now we move onto the next step which is division. As you can see in the question it says "Then he divides the rest of the peanuts equally among 4 friends."

24. 8 ÷ 4 = 6.2

Since the answer is supposed to be a decimal..that's your answer!

So overall, each of Mason's friends get 6.2 ounces of peanuts.

Hope this helps!
