What is the probability of throwing a number greater than 4 when rolling a number cube that has sides labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?
Leona [35]
What is probability rolling a number greater than 4?

The only numbers there are is 5 and 6.
That means that there are 2 outcomes out of 6 total outcomes.
That would be 2/6.
Divide the the top and bottom by 2.
In simplest form it would be 1/3.
2/6=1/3

The answer is 1/3. The probability of throwing a number greater than 4 is 1/3.

Find the value of x.
Tatiana [17]

Answer: The answer is x = 6 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram

The diagram in the question shows two triangles placed on each other and for convenience sake has been labelled ABDCE. Triangle ABC is a right angled triangle, and so is triangle ADE. From the marks on the lines, we can infer that line AD is equal in measurement to line DB. Also line AE is equal in measurement to line EC.

Therefore we can see the similarity in both triangles, if AD and AE equals DB and EC, then it follows that DE equals BC.

Hence if AD = DB and

AE = EC, and

DE = BC

Then, x - 3 = ½x

(½x can also be expressed as x/2)

x - 3 = x/2

By cross multiplication we now have

2(x - 3) = x

2x - 6 = x

By collecting like terms we now have

2x - x = 6

x = 6

an engineer has a 54 inch wire that she has to cut into two pieces so that one piece is 8 inches shorter than the other find the
Brilliant_brown [7]

Hey there!!

Let's take the length of the bigger piece as x inches

Then, the length of the smaller piece would be x - 8 inches

The sum of these lengths would be 54 inches

... x + x - 8 = 54

... 2x - 8 = 54

... Add 8 on both sides

... 2x = 62

... Divide 2 on both sides

... x = 31

Hence, the length of the bigger piece = 31 inches

The length of the smaller piece would be = 31 - 8 = 23 inches

Hope my answer helps!!
