'One third' as a decimal is 1 ÷ 3 = 0.333333..... ⇒ The decimal is recurring
'One fifth' as decimal is 1 ÷ 5 = 0.2 ⇒ The decimal terminates at the tenth value
'One seventh' as decimal 1 ÷ 7 = 0.142857142857.... ⇒ The decimal is recurring for every digit between 1 and 7
'One ninth' as decimal 1 ÷ 9 = 0.111111.... ⇒ The decimal is recurring
Answer: one fifth
Answer:
B. 0.12
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain this probability, you need to multiply the two probabilities.. since it's comprised of two events: one that he's in the brass section, one that he plays trombone. The probably of him playing trombone only happens if he's in the brass section.
So, you have the possibility he's in the brass section: 0.50
The possibility he's playing trombone, if he's in the brass section: 0.24
P = 0.5 * 0.24 = 0.12
