Answer:
Part a - 25 pieces
Part b - 4 sheets
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part a</u>
Think of this in terms of how many "units" can the total paper be cut into. Easiest way to keep track of units is by their area. In other words, take the total area and see how many unit areas fit into it:
Number of units = total area / unit area
N = (85 x 60) / (20 x 10)
N = 5100 / 200
N = 25.5
Therefore the greatest number of pieces the paper can be cut into is 25 units (the 0.5 doesn't count since it's not a full pieces).
<u>Part b</u>
Again, back to units. This time the "total" is 100, and our unit size is 25.5. So:
Number of units = total gifts / gifts per unit
N = 100 / 25.5
N = 3.9
Therefore 4 sheets of wrapping paper will be needed (you need to round the 3.9 up because wrapping paper sheets only come in whole numbers for the purposes of this question).
Answer in fraction form = 1/20
Answer in decimal form = 0.05
Answer in percent form = 5%
These are three ways to express the same thing

Explanation:
Assume the gumball machine only has 5 gumballs, one of each color. The probability of getting yellow is 1/5 since there is one that is yellow out of 5 total.
The probability of getting a lion rubber band is 1/4 for similar reasoning as above.
Because the two events (getting yellow, getting a lion) are independent, this means we can multiply the two probabilities to get (1/5)*(1/4) = 1/20
Use your calculator to see that 1/20 = 0.05 which converts to 5% when you move the decimal point over 2 spots to the right.
