Answer:

Distance between the police station and the fire station be 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between the police station and the fire station be x miles.

The distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station.

Distance between the library and the police station =2x-3

Also, distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

2x-3=5\\2x=3+5\\2x=8\\x=\frac{8}{2}\\ x=4\,\,miles

dsp73

Answer:

1\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Volume of Water = 5\frac{4}{6}

Volume drunk by James =1\frac{1}{3}

Volume drunk by Simon =\frac{2}{3}

Volume drunk by Matthew = 1\frac{1}{2}

Volume drunk by Gilbert =\frac{5}{6}

Total Volume Drunk (i.e. The Sum) = 1\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} + 1\frac{1}{2} +\frac{5}{6}=\frac{13}{3}

Volume of water Left = Total Volume of Water-Total Volume Drunk

= 5\frac{4}{6}-\frac{13}{3} =\frac{4}{3}=1\frac{1}{3}

If you roll two four-sided dice (numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4), what is the probability that the sum of the dice is 3?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The probability that the sum of the dice is 3, is 3/16.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that two four-sided dice are rolled.

Total number of sides of each dice = 4

Possible values for each dice = 1,2,3,4

If two four-sided dice are rolled, then the total possible outcomes are

A=\{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),\\(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4)\}

Total number of possible outcomes = 16

The sum of the dice is 3.

\text{Favorable outcomes}=\{(1,1),(1,2),(2,1)\}

Total number of favorable outcomes = 3

The probability that the sum of the dice is 3.

Probabilty=\frac{3}{16}

Therefore the probability that the sum of the dice is 3, is 3/16.
