Question

ok can somebody help me please i need help i got a question

Answer 1

whats the problem?

Answer 2

ok this is for my little brother he's in seventh he's working on probablity and we got stuck on a problem

Answer 3

what is the problem question?

Answer 4

what the main problem says is a number cube is rolled and a spinner is spun

Answer 5

and the problem is it say three or consonant

Answer 6

so that means we have to do one sixth times something

Answer 7

im sorry i dont understand what the question is asking u to find. sorry.

Answer 8

its in a book you probably wouldnt get it

Answer 9

ok there are five spots on a spinner

Answer 10

and a cube is rolled, the cube has six sides so thats where you get one sixth from

Answer 11

and it say three or consonant

Answer 12

no it says three and a consonant

Answer 13

so is it the addition of the two?

Answer 14

actually your multiplying

Answer 15

its one sixth times something

Answer 16

haha no i mean like if you add the sum of what you spin and what you roll

Answer 17

and the problem say three and a consonant

Answer 18

like the probability of a three and a constant?

Answer 19

whats a consonant

Answer 20

a constant is just a number. in this case, from what i assume from what you tell me, it would be just a number spun or rolled and you keep getting it. like roll the cube, get a 4. roll it again, get a 4. over and over...

Answer 21

so thats all it is is a number being rolled on a dice over and over

Answer 22

yeah or spun

Answer 23

so if thats what the question is asking, then you just multiply probability

1/6 * 1/5

Answer 24

these are letters though so we might say letters being spun over and over

Answer 25

BUT

Answer 26

oh ok so for multiple times you have 1/6 * 1/5 and then you add the same probability for the roll for however many times

Answer 27

like you want to roll a three a number every time for three times...the probability would be 1/6 * 1/5 + 1/6 * 1/5 + 1/6 * 1/5

Answer 28

but we looked in the back of the book and the answer is one over ten

Answer 29

ok let me see. can you just type the entire problem?

Answer 30

1/6 x 3/5

Answer 31

yeah that would be 1/10

Answer 32

and then i have to simplify that

Answer 33

and im guessing that would turn that into 1/10

Answer 34

yeah it would. its 1x3/(6x5) = 3/30 = 3/(3x10) = 1/10

Answer 35

do you see how it happened? it was by factoring out the three from the denominator and numerator

Answer 36

yeah

Answer 37

my brother wasnt explaning all the way

Answer 38

haha thats ok i was confused anyway

Answer 39

yep

Answer 40

now im really confused

Answer 41

it says factor of 6 and D

Answer 42

ok so whats the things on the spinner?

Answer 43

A-E

Answer 44

a factor of 6 means numbers that can multiply to get 6. if the numbers on the cube are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 then the factors are 1, 2, 3, and 6 so for the probability of a factor of six would be 4/6 or 2/3

Answer 45

and since they are a-e you want a d, the probability is 1/5

so multiply 2/3 * 1/5

Answer 46

hint: you can't simplify

Answer 47

I Got a question how did you get 1/5

Answer 48

because the spinner has five choices...its the same with the cube. you have six sides so the probability of getting say a 6 is 1/6 i.e. one out of six. since you spin and you have to land on one you have 1/5
