Mathematics

Answer:

45 people prefered coffee, 81 people prefered tea. A total of 126 people were surveyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the people who prefer tea, and let c be the people who prefer coffee.

The ratio between tea and coffee is 9:5, thus we have t/c=9/5. Cross products  give us 5t=9c.

Also, we have 36 more people prefer tea than coffee, so we have c+36=t

Thus we have: 5(c+36)=9c

5c+180=9c

180=4c

c=45

c+36=t

45+36=81

You roll a six-sided die. Find the probability of each of the following scenarios
romanna [79]

Answer:

a) 1/2

b) 5/6

c) 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Rolling a number greater than 3 means you can roll a 4, 5, or 6, which contains rolling a 6. So, the probability is (1+1+1)/6=3/6=\boxed{1/2}

b)

Rolling a number less than 5 means you can roll a 1, 2, 3, or 4, but because you could also roll an even number, so you could also roll a 6.

So, the probability is (1+1+1+1+1)/6=\boxed{5/6}

c)

Rolling a 4 or an odd number means you can roll a 1, 3, 5, or 4. So, the probability is (1+1+1+1)/6=4/6=\boxed{2/3}
