Answer:
The chance of rolling a number greater than 4 (a 5 and 6) is 2/6 = 1/3 after simplification. The probability it WON'T happen is 1 - 1/3 = 2/3.
The ratio of against to for is 2/3:1/3
You can further simplify this ratio by multiplying each side by 3 and yielding
2:1.
The chance of it not happening is twice as likely as it is to roll a number greater than 4
All methods are supposed to be correct in most if not all situations and it should not matter if you use a different method given the options
He will be making a right triangle with the legs being 24 x 45. The diagonal will be the hypotenuse of the triangle. To find the amount of fencing we need the perimeter of the triangle.
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
24^2 + 45^2 = c^2
576 + 2025 = c^2
2601 = c^2
sqrt 2601 = c
c = 51
Adding the three lengths the total fencing needed is
51+24+45=120 meters
Would you do inverse operation ?
Represent the number of days by x. With this representation, the variable cost of the rental is 31.67x. The total cost is the sum of the fixed and variable costs. This value should not be more than $500. The equation below shows the relationship.
130 + 31.67x ≤ 500
Solving for x gives x ≤ 11.68
Thus, the maximum number of days to rent the car is only 11 days.
