Answer:

66 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

●120% boys of girls

▪︎1.2 × g

☆when g is the number of girls

●80 boys

▪︎meaning you can set up a proportion

Solving:

g × 1.2 = 80

g=80/1.2

g=66.66

So, since you can't go over percent, the answer is 66.

Checking:

g × 1.2 = 80

66 × 1.2 = 80

80=80✅

Find the probability of getting tails on every toss of a coin when the coin is tossed 5 times.

Answer:

1/10, or 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 outcomes you can get from one toss, heads and tails. Therefore, if you tossed it once, the probability of landing tails would be 1/2, or 50%. Since you toss it 5 times, you will multiply the probability of one toss by five. 1/2x5 = 1/10, so your probability of landing tails on every toss when thrown 5 times is 1/10, or 10% :)
