What is the probality of rolling a sum of 5 if two regular 6 -sides number cubes are rolled

Dmitry [639]

Each die has six numbers, the total number of possible combinations is 6 * 6 = 36

The combinations in which you can get a sum of 5 are: 1 &4, 2 & 3, 4 &1, 3 &2

There are 4 different combinations of getting a sum of 5.

The probability would be 4/36, which reduces to 1/9

Nola hiked down a trail at a steady rate for 10 minutes. Her change in elevation was −170 feet. Then she continued to hike down

madreJ [45]

Answer: First portion is greater than second portion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to hiked down a trail = 10 minutes

Change in elevation = (-) 170 feet

Speed is given by

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\Speed=\frac{170}{10}\\\\Speed=17\text{ feet per minute}$

Similarly,

Time taken to hiked down a trail = 20 minutes

Change in elevation = (-)220 feet

Speed is given by

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

$Speed=\frac{220}{20}\\\\Speed=11\text{ feet per minutes}$

So, we can see that first portion of the hike where he hiked down a trail at a steady rate for 10 minutes and her change in elevation was (-) 170 feet, was her rate of change in elevation greater.

<u>As 17 feet per minutes is greater than 11 feet per minutes.</u>
