Probability of an event =
(number of ways the event can happen) / (total number of possible outcomes) .
Well, the total number of possible outcomes is easy. It's
(6 possibilities for the first cube) x (6 possibilities for the 2nd cube)
= 36 total possible ways for two cubes to roll.
Now, how many of those possibilities show either 4 or 7 ?
Well, here's how a 4 can come up:
1 . . . 3
2 . . . 2
3 . . . 1
and here's how a 7 can come up:
1 . . . 6
2 . . . 5
3 . . . 4
4 . . . 3
5 . . . 2
6 . . . 1 .
So there are 9 ways all together for Lenny to be successful.
The probability is (9/36) .
That's 1/4 , or 25% .
The value of x is about 4.7
Answer:
12 inches by 21 inches
Step-by-step
Let's start with the 8 feet
for every 2 feet add three inches you get a total of 12 inches
same for the 14 feet, you get 21 inches
Based on the two different purchases, you can write equations for the price of a hotdog (h) and that of a drink (d). These equations can be solved by your favorite method to find the individual prices.
... 6h +4d = 17.00 . . . . . . Carl's purchase
... 3h +4d = 12.50 . . . . . . Susan's purchase
We can see that the difference in purchase cost (of $4.50) is due entirely to the difference in the number of hotdogs (3). Thus, the price of a hotdog must be
... $4.50/3 = $1.50
The 4 drinks are then ($12.50 -4.50) = $8, so must be $2 each. You don't need to figure the cost of a drink to determine that the appropriate answer choice is ...
... D. $1.50 for a hot dog; $2.00 for a drink.
