Answer:

5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the outcome that a event will occur

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

Since two sided dice are rolled, the total outcome will be expressed as;

Total outcome = 36

Since we are to find the probability that the sum is 8, the values that gives a sum of 8a re;

(2,6)(6,2), (5, 3), (3,5), (4, 4)

The expected outcome = 5

Probability = 5/36

Hence the probability that the sum is 8 is 5/36

elixir [45]

Answer:

4 1/10 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total mass, we add the mass of the three baskets

1 1/10 + 1 3/10 + 1 7/10

Since they have the same denominator

1 1/10

1 3/10

1 7/10

-------------

3 11/10

Change the improper fraction to a mixed number

11/10 = 1 1/10

3 + 1 1/10

4 1/10

One of the cars are blue it van travel 31 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline .Another car is red it can travel 28 4/5 miles

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the cars are blue. it can travel 31 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline. Converting 31 1/2 miles to decimal, it becomes 31.5 miles. Converting 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline to decimal, it becomes 1.25 gallons of gasoline.

Therefore, the miles per gallon for the blue car is

31.5/1.25 = 25.2 miles per gallon.

Another car is red it can travel 28 4/5 miles on 4/5 gallon of gasoline.

Converting 28 4/5 miles to decimal, it becomes 28.8 miles. Converting 4/5 gallons of gasoline to decimal, it becomes 0.8 gallons of gasoline.

Therefore, the miles per gallon for the red car is

28.8/0.8 = 36 miles per gallon.
