Answer: 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is calculated by number of possible outcomes/ total outcomes

From the question, a coin only has two sides, Head or Tail. Total outcomes is therefore equal to 2

Possible outcome is to toss a head, which is one event

Probability of tossing a head is therefore =1/2

The second part of the question is rolling a die with eight sides.

Here, the die is said to have eight sides, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Total outcomes is therefore equal to 8

Possible outcome of rolling a number greater than 5 is 3 possibilities, that is rolling 6, 7 and 8.

Pr(rolling > 5) is 3/8

Therefore, Pr ( head; rolling > than 5)

= 1/2 + 3/8

=7/8

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest answer

It would be 20 percent, I believe. First you would put it into a fraction of 12\60, then you would simplify that into 3\15 then divide as shown. You end up with .2 which would be 20 percent.
