Answer:

\frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Flipping a coin and rolling a number cube are both independent events. Independent events do not rely on the outcome of any previous events.  This means that whatever you flip on the coin will have no effect on whatever you roll on the number cube and each flip of the coin or roll of the cube has the same probability as the flip or roll before.  

The probability of getting tails on a coin toss is: \frac{1}{2}

The probability of getting a number less than 3 (so 1 or 2) on a number cube is: \frac{1}{3}

Since we are combining these events, we need to multiply the fractions together to get our overall probability:

\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{6}

Steve sells half of his comic books and then buys 6 more now he has 14 comic books
ddd [48]

Let b be the initial amount of books. Steve sells half of his books, so the number of Steve's books become

b \to \dfrac{b}{2}

Then, he buys 6 more, so the number increases by 6:

\dfrac{b}{2} \to \dfrac{b}{2}+6

This number is now 14, so you have

\dfrac{b}{2}+6 = 14

Subtract 6 from both sides:

\dfrac{b}{2} = 8

Multiply both sides by 2:

b = 16

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

12,633.7

Step-by-step explanation:

population of Chicago, in 2003 = 2,869,121

The area of Chicago = 227.1 square miles.

What was the average number of people living in 1 square mile?

Average number of people living in 1 square mile also refers to the population density of Chicago

Average number of people living in 1 square mile = Total population / total square miles

= 2,869,121 / 227.1

= 12633.734037868

Approximately

12,633.7
