We define the probability of a particular event occurring as:
$\frac{number\ of \ desired\ outcomes}{number\ of\ possible\ outcomes}$

What are the total number of possible outcomes for the rolling of two dice? The rolls - though performed at the same time - are independent, which means one roll has no effect on the other. There are six possible outcomes for the first die, and for each of those, there are six possible outcomes for the second, for a total of 6 x 6 = 36 possible rolls.

Now that we've found the number of possible outcomes, we need to find the number of desired outcomes. What are our desired outcomes in this problem? They are asking for all outcomes where there is at least one 5 rolled. It turns out, there are only 3:

(1) D1 - 5, D2 - Anything else, (2), D1 - Anything else, D2 - 5, and (3) D1 - 5, D2 - 5

So, we have $\frac{3}{36} = \frac{1}{12}$ probability of rolling at least one 5.

how for is Blaine's house if you must drive 6.5 hours through the woods at an average of 45mph to get there?

Six and a half hours at a speed of 45 mph. 45 mph is forty five miles per hour. since there are six full hours, multiply six (time) by speed (45) to get the distance within the six full hours, which is 270 miles. you also have an additional half hour at a 45 mph speed, so rather than going 45 miles in one hour, you for half an hour, meaning you go 22.5 miles. add these two together (270 + 22.5) to get 292.5 miles. a faster way to get to this would be to multiply 6.5 * 45. hole this helps!
