When you first pick a ticket, there are 2 winning tickets and 40 total tickets. This means that there is a 2/40 chance of your ticket being a winning one. This fraction can be reduced to 1/20.
After this, there will be 1 winning ticket left and 39 total tickets. There is a 1/39 chance of the next ticket being a winning one. We multiply these two fractions together to get our answer. 1/20 * 1/39 = 1/780, so there is a 1/780 chance of having 2 winning tickets.
It would take 3 pieces to make 2 1/3 because 2 and 1/3 is more than just 2 alone which would take another piece to get it to 2 1/3
Answer:
Let's solve for x.
4x−2y=20
Step 1: Add 2y to both sides.
4x−2y+2y=20+2y
4x=2y+20
Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4
= 2y+20/4
x= 1/2y+5
Answer: x= 1/2y+5
A fraction with the denominator of 6 and is breather than 2/4 would be 5/6 or 4/6
