Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to find all the possibilities of getting a sum of 3 or less: 1+1 or 1+2 and we count the second combination 2 times because the numbers can be on either of the dices so we have a total of 3 possibilities. all the possible pairimg of dice are 6*6=36 because each dice has 6 sides and we can get either of them. so the probability would be the chance of getting a sum of 3 or less divided by all the diff combination which equals 3/36 or 1/12 which is roughly around 8.3%

If your playing a game and get 15 coins 30 minutes. How many coins will you get in 1 hour and 40 minutes?

Answer:

You would get 50 coins in that time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we first need to find the unit rate. We can get that by dividing the amount of coins by the amount of time.

15 coins/ 30 mins = .5 coins per minute.

Now, we have 100 minutes in the second part of the problem, so we multiply the rate by that amount of time.

.5 coins per min * 100 mins = 50 coins
