If you mean to ask how you divide 2 by 5, then consider instead dividing 20 by 5, then divide that result by 10 (which is as simple as moving a decimal point to the left)

We have 20/5 = 4, then 4/10 = 0.4.

Why does this work? All we're doing is multiplying by 1 in the form of 10/10, then moving around factors within the product:

2/5 = 2/5 * 10/10 = (2*10)/5 * 1/10 = 20/5 * 1/10 = 4/10 = 0.4

You are going to roll two dice. Let the variable x = the sum of the numbers rolled. What is the probability that x = 9 ?
Vladimir79 [104]

The  first cube can land in any one of  6  ways.
The  second cube can land in any one of  6  ways.
Total number of ways that  2 dice can land = (6 x 6) = 36 ways.

For any of these ways, the sum of the numbers rolled is  9 :

3, 6
4, 5
5, 4
6, 3

There are  4  ways to roll a 9, out of a total of  36  ways that
the dice can land.  So the probability of rolling a  9  is

       4 / 36  =  1 / 9  =  <em>11-1/9 percent</em>
