The weight of one foot of the steel pipe is 1.24 pounds or more accurately, 1.239905.... pounds.

This type of problem is solved using cross multiplication. You know the length (16.84 feet), and the weight (20.88 pounds), of the steel pipe. But what you do not know is the weight of one foot of the steel pipe. Since that is what we are solving for, the weight of one foot of the steel pipe will be our x variable.

This is how I set it up...

16.84 1
——— * ———
20.88 x

I came up with this equation. The length of the pipes I put in the numerator (top), and the weight I put in the denominator (bottom). Since 16.84 feet of a steel pipe weighs 20.88 pounds, 1 foot of a steel pipe weighs x pounds. After you have the equation set up you then move on to cross multiplication.

Step 1: Multiply the top number of the first fraction by the bottom number of the second fraction.
16.84*x= 16.84x

Step 2: Multiply the bottom number of the first fraction by the top number of the second fraction.
20.88*1=20.88

Step 3: Set the answers from step 1 and step 2 equal to each other.
16.84x=20.88

Step 4: Divide 16.88 on both sides so x is by itself.
16.84x 20.88
——— = ———
16.84 16.84

And after you divide on each side you have your answer which should be x=1.24

Rolling a Red and Yellow Dice
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Option C 5/12 is correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the probability that shows yellow dice has a larger value than the red dice.

Probability= total no of favorable outcomes / total no of outcomes

in our case, considering the data set, we have to find those pair where value of yellow die is greater than the red die. Where (1,2) represents 1 on the red die and 2 on the yellow die

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

     (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

              (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

                       (4,5) (4,6)

                                (5,6)

These are the possibilities where yellow die has greater value than red die.

total no of favorable outcomes = 15

total no of outcomes = 36

probability that yellow die has greater value than red die = 15 / 36

                                                                                                = 5/ 12

Option C 5/12 is correct option
