When dividing a number by itself the outcome will always be 1
The fraction should be as such.
Likelihood of white: 6/19
22 because 6 inches on top and bottom means you need 12 inchesw each drape and you have 4 drapes so 48 inches therefor rounding that you get 1 yard each added onto the 8 feet and 5 feet for each drape.
Probability of an event =
(number of ways the event can happen) / (total number of possible outcomes) .
Well, the total number of possible outcomes is easy. It's
(6 possibilities for the first cube) x (6 possibilities for the 2nd cube)
= 36 total possible ways for two cubes to roll.
Now, how many of those possibilities show either 4 or 7 ?
Well, here's how a 4 can come up:
1 . . . 3
2 . . . 2
3 . . . 1
and here's how a 7 can come up:
1 . . . 6
2 . . . 5
3 . . . 4
4 . . . 3
5 . . . 2
6 . . . 1 .
So there are 9 ways all together for Lenny to be successful.
The probability is (9/36) .
That's 1/4 , or 25% .
To solve for x, first you need to isolate all x terms on the same side so:
you start with 5 + 4x = 54 - 3x
subtract 5 from both sides to get 5 onto the left side
now you should have 4x = 49 - 3x
now add 3x to both sides to get 3x onto the right side
now you should have 7x = 49
now that you have your x on one side you can solve this like a regular one step equation and divide both sides by 7
this leads you to your answer of x = 7
hope this helps!
