Two number cubes are rolled --one blue and one yellow. Find the probability that the blue cube is less than 3 and the product is
1 answer:
Assuming they are dice, to work out the probability that the product is 8, the dice either have to be 2 and 4 or 4 and 2. The blue dice therefore has to be a 2 (4 is not less than 3), which is a 1 in 6 probability. The yellow one therefore has to be 4, which again is 1 in 6. The probablility that these both happen at the same time is given when they are multiplied together.

Hello! Your answer is B, 10 minutes.
Say the x = minutes taken to do the job. You can set up an equation like this to solve this.
This is representative of the situation. The fractions each represent <u>how much each person does in a minute</u>, and when they're multiplied by x, that's <u>how much of the project they get done</u> based off of the minutes they work together on the job. Add the two together, and you get <u>how much of the project is finished in x amount of time</u>. Set it equal to 1, as you are looking for 100% completion.
Once you have this equation, find a common denominator, add, and solve.
Therefore, it will take them 10 minutes to do the job together.
Hope this helps!
