-23/17y < 12/7
y > 12/7 * - 17/23
y > - 204 / 161 or -1 43/161
There are six sides on each die. For each possible score on Die 1, there are six possible scores on Die 2. So the number of possible combinations is 6*6 = 36.
<span>It follows that if the dice are thrown 36 times, you would expect each combination to come up once. </span>
<span>We therefore simply need to know how many combinations add up to less than 5. (I've interpreted this as not including a total of 5 itself). </span>
<span>These combinations are: 1 and 1, 2 and 1, 1 and 2, 2 and 2, 3 and 1, and 1 and 3 ---> six combinations out of 36. </span>
<span>So you'd expect a sum less than 5 six times. </span>
Complete Question
We have a total of 420 students. 2 times 3 times the number of girls is equal to 2 times the number of boys how many girls and how many boys
Answer:
The number of boys = x = 315 boys
The number of girls = y = 105 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
The number of boys = x
The number of girls = y
We have 420 students
2 times 3 times the number of girls is equal to 2 times the number of boys
x + y = 420..... Equation 1
2 × 3y = 2x
6y => 2x
x => 6y/2 = 3y
We substitute 3y for x in Equation 1
3y + y = 420
4y = 420
y =>420/4
y => 105
Solving for x
x = 3y
x = 3 × 105
x = 315
Therefore,
The number of boys = x = 315 boys
The number of girls = y = 105 girls
