The students at Southern Junior high School are divided into four home rooms. Benjamin just moved into the school district and will be randomly assigned to one home room

A 4 side dice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Benjamin has 4 possible homerooms with the same probability. This means that every homeroom has a 1/4 = 0.25 (or 25%) probability of getting chosen.

You could emulate this situation with a 4 sided dice (are like little pyramids) where each side of the dice would represent the selection of one of the homerooms.

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
