Q. You roll a 6-sided die.What is P(factor of 90)?Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.__
Identify Factors of 90: Identify the factors of 90.Factors of 90 are numbers that can divide 90 without leaving a remainder. The factors of 90 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 20, and 21.
Determine Possible Outcomes: Determine which of these factors are possible outcomes when rolling a 6-sided die.The possible outcomes when rolling a 6-sided die are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. From the list of factors of 90, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 are also possible outcomes on the die.
Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of rolling a factor of 90. The probability P(factor of 90) is the number of favorable outcomes (rolling a factor of 90) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (rolling any number from 1 to 6). P(factor of 90)=Total number of possible outcomes (sides on the die)Number of favorable outcomes (factors of 90 on the die)P(factor of 90)=65
