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

36/9+2/9 fraction adding!!!
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: 38/9

Step-by-step explanation: Because the fractions presented already have common denominators, the only thing you need to do in order to solve the problem is add the numerators. 36+2= 38, and you keep your denominator the same when adding fractions (when they are the same).
