Answer 2

Jason has two bags with 6 tiles each. The tiles in each bag are shown below:

Six squares are numbered sequentially from 1 to 6.

Without looking, Jason draws a tile from the first bag and then a tile from the second bag. What is the probability of Jason drawing the tile numbered 5 from the first bag and an odd tile from the second bag?

3 over 6
4 over 6
3 over 36
4 over 36

Answer 3

what is the probability he draws a 5 from bag one?

Answer 4

um 2

Answer 5

??

Answer 6

where on earth did you get that from? a probability is a number between zero and one
it can never be 2
lets go slow

Answer 7

how many tiles are in the bag?

Answer 8

because i dont get it :(

Answer 9

that is clear, so lets take it one step at a time
how many tiles are in bag one?

Answer 10

6 tiles are in each bag

Answer 11

6 tiles in bag one
out of those six, how many are labelled "5"?

Answer 12

3

Answer 13

there are 3 tiles labelled "5" in bag one?

Answer 14

seems unlikely, since the question says "Six squares are numbered sequentially from 1 to 6. "

Answer 15

yeah i get the picture
the question is "how many tiles are labelled "5"?"
this is not a trick question

Answer 16

theres only 1

Answer 17

whew!!

Answer 18

1 right, not 3

Answer 19

right

Answer 20

ok so there is 1 labelled 5, and 6 all together
what is the probability you pick the 5?

Answer 21

2?

Answer 22

guess my words above did not help
a probability is a number between zero and one, it is never two
it is the ration of the number of fives to the total number of tiles, i.e one out of six
or as a fraction \[\huge \frac{1}{6}\]

Answer 23

we are not done yet though

Answer 24

ok whats next

Answer 25

how many odd tiles are in the second bag?

Answer 26

3

Answer 27

right! and there are 6 tiles in the bag yes?

Answer 28

yes

Answer 29

ok now please to not say "2"
what is the probability that you pick an odd tile out of the second bag

Answer 30

3

Answer 31

repeat after me
a probability cannot be larger than 1

Answer 32

ok so 1

Answer 33

how many odd tiles?

Answer 34

3

Answer 35

how many tiles total?

Answer 36

6

Answer 37

ratio of the number of odd tiles to total number of tiles?

Answer 38

1/6?

Answer 39

how many odd tiles?

Answer 40

\[\frac{\text{number of odd tiles}}{\text{total number of tiles}}\]

Answer 41

3 so 3/6?

Answer 42

yay!!

Answer 43

ok one more step

Answer 44

you want the probability of both of those,
first is a 5 AND second is odd
we have the probability of each
probability of first one is \(\frac{1}{6}\)
probability of second one is \(\frac{3}{6}\)
take the numbers and multiply them i.e. \[\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{6}\]

Answer 45

is3/6

Answer 46

that is not how you multiply fractions is it?
multiply means multiply
top and bottom

Answer 47

the answer is \[\frac{ 3 }{6 }\]

Answer 48

\[\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{6}=\frac{1\times 3}{6\times 6}\]

Answer 49

oh sorry

3/12

Answer 50

\[6\times 6=?\]

Answer 51

12

Answer 52

no \(2\times 6=12\) but \(6\times 6\neq 12\)

Answer 53

36

Answer 54

whew that is much better
so now what is \[\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{6}\]?

Answer 55

3/36
:)
can you help me with more please? ill tag you !

Answer 56

yes got it
on planet earth we call that
\[\frac{1}{12}\] but that is not one of your answer choices, so go witih \(\frac{3}{36}\)
