Answer as an exact fraction = 5/18

Answer as an approximate decimal = 0.2778

Answer as an approximate percentage = 27.78%

============================================================

Explanation:

x = result of the first die

y = result of the second die

(x,y) paired together shows the results of both dice at the same time.

Something like (x,y) = (4,2) means we got 4 on the first die and 2 on the second die.

--------

Let's list the ways of rolling a 6

  • (1,5)
  • (2,4)
  • (3,3)
  • (4,2)
  • (5,1)

There are 5 ways to roll a 6. Each pair listed has the property x+y = 6.

--------

List all the ways of getting doubles

  • (1,1)
  • (2,2)
  • (3,3)
  • (4,4)
  • (5,5)
  • (6,6)

There are 6 ways to roll doubles. Each pair mentioned has x = y.

--------

We have 5+6 = 11 items listed above. However, there are only 10 unique pairs though because (3,3) was listed twice. So we could say 5+6-1 = 11-1 = 10.

This is out of 6*6 = 36 different ways to roll the two dice. The probability is therefore 10/36 = 5/18.

Using a calculator, 5/18 = 0.2778 = 27.78%

geniusboy [140]
Well, should be likee thiss correct meh if im wrong or what ever, but
 the answer would be, last one (x + 8)(x - 8), well 1, is because the 64 is a negative so if you would just take that 64 and bring it down then look at this onece the work is donee then when u add the 2 numbers that x would be x² or x2 n  that - 64 is that + 8 (-8) witch would equal out so if you really look at it the CORRECT ANSWER WOULD BE B. (x - 8)(x -8)
