3x+5y=16 is linear equation........
Answer:
He is incorrect in this statement because 38 and 40 both have factors, other than 1 x itself. Prime numbers are numbers the only have 1 factor pair, and that is 1 x itself. Factors are the numbers you multiply to get the end result, and an example is 10x4=40. The factors of 40 are 8x5, 4x10, 2x20, and of course, 1x40. The factors of 38 are 2x19, and 1x38.
She can make about 5 bags and there will be 4 lollipops, 2 candy bars, and 7 pieces of gum in each bag.
So this is how to solve it:
Basically what you’re doing here is called finding the gcf, or greatest common factor. What you have to do is find what number can divide by 24, 12, and 42; so I chose 2.
After dividing all these numbers by two you get 12, 6, and 21.
3 can divide by all these numbers
After dividing by three you get 4(lollipops), 2(candy bars) and 7(pieces of gum)
Since you can not divide by one number for all of these numbers, 4, 2 and 7 are your final answers.
To find how many’s bags you can make, the answer is 5 since you divided by 2 and 3 and you add them together.
I hope I explained this well! Good luck :D
What you want is P(6∩1) or P(1∩6) or P(2∩5) or P(5∩2) or P(3∩4) or P(4∩3).
The events of rolling the dice are independent (i.e. they don't affect one another) so:
E.g.
P(6∩1) = P(6) * P(1)
P(2∩5) = P(2) * P(5)
The probability of getting a given number on a roll is 1/6 for both dice.
So:
P(6∩1) = 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
This is the same for any arrangement of numbers you could get from rolling two dice.
So, we can see that there are 6 arrangements of numbers that will give a sum of 7 and so that is 6 * 1/36 = 6/36 = 1/6
