They are being multiplied by 2 each time.
I believe it's 5 to 9 since out of 9 games they win 5 and lose 4. This doesn't account for draws or anything, though.
To simplify rational expressions, simply see and check if there is a common number or same number that can be divided from in both. If not here, you would simply multiply the numbers together.
Then simplify if you would need to.
It would be 85x/6
25 minutes!! you were very close, you just needed to translate the fraction to minutes!
Answer: (a)
(b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) P( Bill hitting the target) = 0.7 P( Bill not hitting the target) = 0.3
P( George hitting the target) = 0.4 P(George not hitting the target) = 0.6
Now the chances that exactly one shot hit the target is = 0.7 x 0.6 + 0.4 x 0.3
= 0.54
Chances that George hit the target is = 0.4 x 0.3 = 0.12
So given that exactly one shot hit the target, probability that it was George's shot =
=
.
(b) The numerator in the second part would be the same as of (a) part which is 0.12.
The change in the denominator will be that now we know that the target is hit so now in denominator we include the chance of both hitting the target at same time that is 0.4 x 0.7 and the rest of the equation is same as above i.e.
Given that the target is hit,probability that George hit it =
= =
