Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

P( coin = heads) = number of heads / total = 1/2

P( cube = 5) = number of 5's / total =1/6

P( heads, 5) =1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12

The coin toss and the number cube roll are independent events.

This is because the result of the coin toss does

not affect the result of the number cube roll.

To find the probability of two independent events, we first find the probability of each event, then we multiply the probabilities.

Since there is only one way to get heads when tossing a coin and there are 2 possible outcomes, tossing a heads or tails, the probability of getting heads is 1/2.

Since there is only one way to roll 5 on a number cube, there

is 1 favorable outcome but six possible outcomes.

So the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6.

Now multiply.

So we have 1/2 · 1/6 which is 1/12.

Find the value of x and y
tiny-mole [99]
<h3>x = 60</h3><h3>y = 60</h3>

x° + 2y° = 180°   ⇒   2y° = 180° - x°

x° = 60°   {three sides of the same lengh, means three angles=60°}

2y° = 180° - 60°

2y° = 120°

y° = 60°

Drew jumped farther than all 4 students above but jumped shorter than 7 feet , 7 inches. How far could drew have jumped? Write s
S_A_V [24]
<h3>The distance covered by Drew in long jump is either 7 ft 5 inches OR 7 ft  6 inches.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the needed table is attached for the reference.

Now, as we can see from the table:

The distance covered by  Cindy  = 2 yards, 1 foot 3 inches

The distance covered by  Tyrette   =  7 feet, 2 inches

The distance covered by Nina   =   2 yards, 1 foot, 1 inch

The distance covered by  Monique   = 7 feet, 4 inches

As we know : 1 yard  =  3 feet

So, the distance covered  by :

Cindy  =  2 yards, 1 foot 3 inches = 3 ft x (2)  + 1 ft +  3 in  = 7 ft 3 in

Tyrette   =  7 feet, 2 inches

Nina   =   2 yards, 1 foot, 1 inch  = = 3 ft x (2)  + 1 ft +  1 in  = 7 ft 1 in

Monique   = 7 feet, 4 inches

So by comparing all distances, we can see that:

The maximum distances jumped by all four  is 7 ft 4 inches.

The distance covered by Drew is less than 7 ft 7 in.

So, he must have jumped 7 ft 5 inches OR 7 ft  6 inches.

Hence, the distance covered by Drew in long jump is either 7 ft 5 inches OR 7 ft  6 inches.
