Answer:

11/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the probability that neither dice shows a 5 (also means the dice can show any number except 5- where there are 5 possible choices out of 6):

= 5/6 x 5/6

=25/36

If we subtract the probability that neither dice shows a 5, we can obtain the probability that at least 1 dice shows a 5- (either one of them is 5, or both of them is 5)

1- 25/36

=11/36

Is 30/12 and 40/16 equivalent?

Flura [38]

30/12 in simplest form is 5/2 (cause 6 * 5 = 30 and 6 * 2 = 12)
40/16 in simplest form is 5/2 (cause 8 * 2 = 16 and 8 * 5 =40)
so yes they're equivalent;
30/12 = 40/16
Hope that helps :D have a nice day!
