Dustin and Melanie are playing a game, where two standard, six-sided number cubes are rolled, and the sum of their outcome is found. Each player gets a chance to guess the correct sum, and the player that guesses the correct sum wins. Dustin decides to guess a sum of six. Melanie decides to guess a sum of seven. Which player made the better decision

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Melanie.

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible ways of getting a 6 are (3,3), (2,4), (4,2), (1,5) and (5,1).

That is 5 ways.

The possible ways of getting a 7 are (1,6), (6,1), (5,2),( 2,5), (3, 4), (4,3).

That is 6 ways.

So Melanie made the better decision.

Is 9/10 greater than 5/6

Answers

$(9)/(10) =(54)/(60)$
$(5)/(6) =(50)/(60)$

$(54)/(60) \ \textgreater \ (50)/(60)$
∴ $(9)/(10) \ \textgreater \ (5)/(6)$

Hi there!

To see which fraction is greater, I like to divide the numerator by the denominator of each of the fractions, and then see which decimal is larger. I'll show you what I mean. :)

9 ÷ 10 = 0.9, right? Set this answer aside.

5 ÷ 6 = 0.83

Now, we compare the two fractions. If you are having trouble setting them aside from one-another, multiply the decimals by 100 to see what your percent will be.

0.9 × 100 = 90

0.83 × 100 = 83

So, we now see that 9/10 was greater than 5/6. You were right!

Hope this helps! :D

Answer: C. 1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) = favorable outcomes / possible outcomes

P(A and B) = probability of A * probability of B

P(tomato) = 2/10

P(cheese) = 2/10

P(tomato and cheese) = 2/10 * 2/10 = 1/25

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 10 cans in all and the chance of pulling a can of tomato soup is 2/10 since there are two cans of tomato soup. simplifying 2/10 is 1/ 5. The same goes for the cheese soup. 10 cans two of them are cheese so you have 2/10, which simplify into 1/5

Solve for u. -24 = u ÷ 6

u = ____

Answers

The value of u is -144

Solution:

Given that,

$-24 = u / 6$

We have to solve for "u"

From given,

$-24 = u / 6$

Convert the division problem into multiplication, by changing the division sign to multiplication sign. Then invert the number to right of division sign

Thus we get,

$-24 = u * (1)/(6)\n\n(u)/(6) = -24$
