a die is rolled twice. the value of both rolls are added together. what is the probability of the sum being greater than 7

1 answer:

7 0

Sum can be 8,9,10,11,12.

8 can be 2+6,3+5,4+4,5+3,6+2 ...so, 5 ways
9 can be 3+6,4+5,... 4 ways
10.......4+6,6+4,5+5 ....3 ways
11.....5+6,6+5.....2 ways
12....6+6...1way
total= 5+4+3+2+1=15 favourable cases

P=15/36=5/12

Johnny is reading a novel for the read-a- Thon. The ratio of the number of pages she read to the pages that remain to be read is

mart [117]

There are several ways to answer this question and I will use this approach. Since Johnny reads at a ratio of 7:3 it can be stated that for every 10 pages in a book containing 500 pages Johnny will read 7 of those pages. There are 50 groups of 10 in a 500-page book (50 x 10). Take the ration 7:3 times 50 and use the distributive property: 7:3(50) = (7 x 50):(3 x 50) = 350:150. Based on this Johnny has read 350 pages and has 150 pages remaining.
