A bus made the trip to the city in 6 hours while traveling at an ave speed of  50 kph.  Had the speed been 45 kph, how many minutes more would it have taken to make the trip to the city?

@ Chiogo,

Thats the longest way of going about it.

Just set the denominator, x-2=0 then x=2
Then substitute x for 2,

f(2) = 24 - 3(2)2 + 7(2) - 10
       = 16 - 12 + 14 -10
       = 8

91 / 216 Tongue

working Cheesy
Since we need at least one six, let us calculate the negation of this…I mean calculate the probability of not getting a six on any of these three dice.

The probability of not getting a six on a die is 5/6
Since the three events here are independent events, the probability of not getting six on any of these three dice is 5/6×5/6×5/6 = 125/216.

Hence the probability of getting at least one six is 1-125/216 = 91/216.
