The solution is given in the image below

Speed=Distance/time

Here,

distance=15m

time=1sec

speed=15/1=15m/sec

Distance=Speed*time

time=15min=15*60sec=900sec

Distance travelled in 15 min=15*900=13,500m

=13500/1000 km=13.5Km

The wood before starting =12 feet

Left wood=6 feet

Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet

Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)

=8 pieces

Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.

The wood before starting =12 feet

Left wood=6 feet

Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet

Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)

=8 pieces

Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.

Cost of 6 gallons =$15

Cost of 1 gallon =15/6

                           =$2.5

Cost of 7 gallons=$2.5 * 7

                           =$17.5

There are 6 outcomes 1,2,3,4,5,6

Total outcomes = 6

Outcomes when rolling a number is 4 or less = 1,2,3,4

Total outcome when rolling a number is 4 or less=4

Probability = required outcome/total outcome

                 =4/6

                 =2/3

Therefore probability = 2/3
