The probability of getting a total that is a factor of 21 is 0.22

<u>Explanation:</u>

Factor of 21 is = 1, 3, 7, 21

Out of all the factors of 21, we cannot get 21 when the two die are rolled as the maximum sum that can be obtained is 12

The possible combinations are:

(1,2) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,5)

(3,4)

(4,3)

(5,2)

(6,1)

Total outcome = 6 X 6

= 36

Number of outcomes that is the factor of 21 is 8

The probability of getting a total that is a factor of 21 is $\frac{8}{36}$

p(21) = 0.22

Therefore, the probability of getting a total that is a factor of 21 is 0.22

natka813 [3]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square equals to the square of its side, therefor the side of a given area for a square is the square root of the area.

$A = a^{2}\\a = \sqrt{A}\\a = \sqrt{110} = 10.48 ft$

George had one sheet of paper. He cut it into 6" x 5", and 3" x 6". What were the dimensions and total area of his original shee

Deffense [45]

Answer: $l={8}'' ,b={6}''$ , $l={6}'' ,b={8}''$

and area is $=48$ inch square

Step-by-step explanation:

area of sheet $=l\times b$

area of sheet first $={6}''\times {5}''$

$=30$ inch square

area of sheet second $={3}''\times {6}''$

$=18$ inch square

total area of both sheet $=30+18$

$=48$ inch square

area of sheet $=l\times b$

$=48$ inch square

$l={6}'' ,b={8}''$

or

$l={8}'' ,b={6}''$

perimeter of sheet

$=2\left ( l+b \right )$

$=2(6+8)$

$={28}''$

Answer:

a. $\frac{\textbf{17}}{\textbf{4}}$

b. $\frac{\textbf{3}}{\textbf{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. $\textbf{3} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{+} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{1}\frac{\textbf{1}}{\textbf{4}}$

A mixed fraction of the form $a\frac{x}{y} = a + \frac{x}{y}$

$\therefore 3 + 1\frac{1}{4} = 3 + 1 + \frac{1}{4}$

$= 4 + \frac{1}{4}$

$= \frac{\textbf{17}}{\textbf{4}}$

b. $\textbf{2} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{-} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{1}\frac{\textbf{5}}{\textbf{8}}$

A mixed fraction of the form $-c\frac{a}{b} = - c - \frac{a}{b}$

$\therefore 2 - 1\frac{5}{8} = 2 - 1 - \frac{5}{8}$

$= 1 - \frac{5}{8}$

$= \frac{8 - 5}{8}$

$= \frac{\textbf{3}}{\textbf{8}}$

Hence, the answer.
