<h3>Answer:  1/8</h3>

In decimal form, 1/8 = 0.125 which converts to 12.5%

==================================================

Work Shown:

The 63 should be 6^3. There are 6 choices per slot, and 3 slots, so 6^3 = 216 different outcomes.

Here are all of the ways to add to 11 if we had 3 dice

  1. sum = 1+4+6 = 11
  2. sum = 1+5+5 = 11
  3. sum = 1+6+4 = 11
  4. sum = 2+3+6 = 11
  5. sum = 2+4+5 = 11
  6. sum = 2+5+4 = 11
  7. sum = 2+6+3 = 11
  8. sum = 3+2+6 = 11
  9. sum = 3+3+5 = 11
  10. sum = 3+4+4 = 11
  11. sum = 3+5+3 = 11
  12. sum = 3+6+2 = 11
  13. sum = 4+1+6 = 11
  14. sum = 4+2+5 = 11
  15. sum = 4+3+4 = 11
  16. sum = 4+4+3 = 11
  17. sum = 4+5+2 = 11
  18. sum = 4+6+1 = 11
  19. sum = 5+1+5 = 11
  20. sum = 5+2+4 = 11
  21. sum = 5+3+3 = 11
  22. sum = 5+4+2 = 11
  23. sum = 5+5+1 = 11
  24. sum = 6+1+4 = 11
  25. sum = 6+2+3 = 11
  26. sum = 6+3+2 = 11
  27. sum = 6+4+1 = 11

There are 27 ways to add to 11  using 3 dice. This is out of 216 total outcomes of 3 dice being rolled.

So, 27/216 = (1*27)/(8*27) = 1/8 is the probability of getting 3 dice to add to 11.

A large dining room table is in the shape of a semi circle diameter 12 feet. What is the square feet closest to the area ? Radiu
Zarrin [17]
No, the radius is not 3.14 .  The radius is 1/2 of the diameter . . .  That's 6 feet.
If you see 3.14 on the sheet, then that's the number you're supposed to use for pi .

The area of any circle is (pi) x (radius squared).
If the table were a full circle, its area would be (pi) x (6 squared) = 36 pi square feet.

But it's only half of that . . . 18 pi = (18) x (3.14) = <u>56.52 square feet</u>.

That's called the "area" of the table, not the "square feet" of the table.

And another thing:   I see you're asking for the "closest" number.   Don't ask me
how I know this, but I'm pretty sure that right under this question wherever you
copied it from, there's a list of choices, and when you posted the question, for
some reason you decided not to share the list.

Solve for x.
White raven [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

25(x - 910) =  - 234 \\ 25x - 22750 =  - 234 \\ 25x = 22516 \\ x =  \frac{22516}{25}  \\ x = 900 \frac{16}{25}
