There are 24 segments on the wheel in total. 1 segment is the $500 and 2 are the bankruptcy spaces. You would then multiply the two fractions 1/24 and 2/24 (the chances of getting each result) to get the answer. 1•2=2 and 24•24=576 making the fraction 2/576. Then you would simplify by dividing both sides by 2 which equals the final answer 1/288.
Integers are like -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5 etc
absolute value tells you how far the number is from 0
so example: |-5|=5=|5|
2 different integers can have the same absolute value
as long as they are negative of each other
like x and -x
