Answer:

The two numbers are 39 and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find these numbers, set the first number equal to x. Then the second number can be described as x - 12. Using these two terms, you can add them together and set equal to 66.

x + x - 12 = 66

2x - 12 = 66

2x = 78

x = 39

Given this as the first number, put into the second equation to find the next.

x - 12

(39) - 12

27

If you roll one die and flip one coin, what is the probability of rolling a 2 and flipping a head? Why?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Probability of rolling a 2 and flipping a head will be \frac{1}{12}    

Step-by-step explanation:

If we roll one die then probability to get any one side is \frac{1}{6}

Therefore, probability to get 2 by rolling the die will be P(A) = \frac{1}{6}

Now we flip a coin then getting head or tale probability is \frac{1}{2}

Or probability to get head by flipping the coin P(B) = \frac{1}{2}

Probability of happening both the events (rolling a 2 and flipping a head) will be denoted by

P(A∩B) = P(A)×P(B)

           = \frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{2}

           = \frac{1}{12}

Therefore, probability of rolling a 2 and flipping a head will be \frac{1}{12}
