Answer:
The probability that he rolls a sum of 9 given the sample space is . 9/36, or 1/4.
What is the probability?
Probability determines the chances that an event would happen. The probability the event occurs is 1 and the probability that the event does not occur is 0.
The probability that he rolls a sum of 9 = cubes that have a sum of 9 / total number of cubes
9/36 = 1/4
I = {2.666666667, 1.166666667
Most of the information's are already given in the question. It is important to understand the language of the problem for solving the problem. Once the language is understood, then solving the problem is easy.
Let us assume the number of black jelly beans = x
Number of yellow jelly beans = y
Then from the question we can get to a equation.
3x - 7 = y
We also know from the question that
x + y = 225
x + 3x -7 = 225
4x = 225 + 7
4x = 232
x = 232/4
= 58
So Cassidy has 58 black jelly beans out of the total of 225 jelly beans
Assuming your solving for y:
py+7=6y+q
-6y -7 -6y -7
(p-6)y = q-7
divide both sides by p-6
y=(q-7)/(p-6)

To check this yourself, you need the denominators to be the same to be able to easily compare the two.
For example, does 5/8 = 40/64?
1. Determine what you would need to do to the denominator in 5/8 to make it 64. (Multiply it by 8)
2. Find what fraction is equal to 1 with a denominator of 8. (8/8)
3. Multiply the fraction 5/8 by the one you just found (8/8), numerator times numerator, denominator times denominator.
4. Compare the answer with the second fraction.
It is important that when you multiply the denominator by any number you multiply the numerator by the same number. This is to preserve the fraction's value. This works because any number divided by itself is equal to 1, AND when you multiply any number by 1 (whether 1 is in the form of 1 or 4/4 or 8/8 or 234/234), the answer is always equal to the original number.
Another way to check would be to simply enter 1/2 into a calculator, write down the answer. Next enter 5/8 into a calculator. If the answers are the same, they are equal.</span><span>
