The answer is:  "  \frac{1}{4} " ;  or, write as:  "0.25" .
___________
Explanation:
__________
Method 1)
__________
\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{4} ;

= \frac{1 * 2 * 3}{2* 3 *4} ;

= \frac{6}{24} ; 

= \frac{6/6}{24/6} ;

= \frac{1}{4} ;  or, write as:  "0.25" .
_________________
Method 2)
_________________
\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{4} ;

= \frac{1 * 2 * 3}{2* 3 *4} ;

→ The "2's" & "3's" in both the numerator & denominator "cancel out" to "1" ;  {since:  "(2÷2=1)" ; and "(3÷3=1" ) ; 

→ And we have:

   
→  \frac{1 * 1 * 1}{1 * 1 * 4} ;

            =  \frac{1}{4} ;  or; write as:  "0.25" .
________________
Method 3)  (similar to "Method 2" above):
_________________
\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{4} ;

= \frac{1 * 2 * 3}{2* 3 *4} ;

→ The "2" in numerator cancels out to "1" ; and the "4" in the denominator cancels to "2" ;  {since:  "(4÷2=2)" ; and since: "(2÷2=1)" ;

→  The "3's" in both the numerator AND denominator "cancel out" to "1" ;                      {since:  "(3÷3=1" ) ; 

→ And we have:

   →  \frac{1 * 1 * 1}{2 * 1 * 2} ;

            =  \frac{1}{4} ;  or; write as:  "0.25" .
_______________
Method 4)
_______________
\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{4} ;

→ Cancel out the "2" in the denominator of "\frac{1}{2}" ; to a "1" ; AND cancel out the "2" in the numerator of "\frac{2}{3} " ; to a "1" ;
       {since: "{2÷2=1}" ;
 
 → Cancel out the "3" in the denominator of "\frac{2}{3} " ; to a "1" ;
AND cancel out the "3" in the numerator of: "\frac{3}{4}" ; to a "1" ;
      {since:  "(3÷3=1}" ;

→ And we have:

   →  \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{4} ; 

              = \frac{1 * 1 * 1}{1 * 1 *4} ; 
           
              =  \frac{1}{4} ;  or; write as:  "0.25" .
________________
Variation:
________________
At the point when we have:
________________

   → \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{4} ; 
________________
We can eliminate the: 

"  \frac{1}{1}  *  \frac{1}{1}  " ;

{since: "  \frac{1}{1} = 1 " ; 

{and since:  "  \frac{1}{1}  *  \frac{1}{1}  "  =  1 * 1 = 1 ; 

and since: "1", multiplied by any value, equals that exact same value; 
_____________
THAT IS:
_____________
    → \frac{1}{1}  *  \frac{1}{1}   *  \frac{1}{4}  ;

         =  1  *  1  *  \frac{1}{4} ;

         =  (1 * 1)  *  \frac{1}{4} ;

         =    1 *   \frac{1}{4}  ;
  
         =    \frac{1}{4} ;  or, write as:  "0.25" .
_____________
Method 5)   (similar to "Method 4" above):
____________________
\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{4}  ;

  → Cancel out the "2" in the numerator of "\frac{2}{3}" ; to a " 1 " ; 
AND cancel out the "4" in the denominator of "\frac{3}{4}"; to a "2" ;
       {since: "{4÷2=2}" ; and since: "{2÷2=1}" ; 

  → Cancel out the "3" in the denominator of "\frac{2}{3} " ; to a "1" ;
AND cancel out the "3" in the numerator of: "\frac{3}{4}" ; to a "1" ;
      {since:  "(3÷3=1}" ;

→ And we have:
_____________
   →  \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{2} ; 

              = \frac{1 * 1 * 1}{2 * 1  *2} ; 

                      =  \frac{1}{4} ; or, write as:  "0.25" .

Watching the weather channel, you can see the probability of it raining tomorrow. drag the term to the corresponding probability
azamat

Answer:

Probability:

1. probability of rain < 1/2            -------- Unlikely

2. probability of rain = 0             --------  Impossible

3. probability of rain = 1               -------- Certain

4. probability of rain > 1/2           --------- Likely

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Terms:

• impossible

• likely

• unlikely

• certain

Probability:

1. probability of rain < 1/2

2. probability of rain = 0

3. probability of rain = 1

4. probability of rain > 1/2

To find - Watching the weather channel, you can see the probability of it raining tomorrow. drag the term to the corresponding probability of it raining tomorrow. drag the term to the corresponding probability of it raining tomorrow.

Proof -

Probability:

1. probability of rain < 1/2            -------- Unlikely

2. probability of rain = 0             --------  Impossible

3. probability of rain = 1               -------- Certain

4. probability of rain > 1/2           --------- Likely

Reason -

  • Probability is the chance that an event will occur. Weather predictions are based on  probability.
  • The probability of an event occurring is represented by a ratio.

A ratio is a number that is  between 0 and 1 and can include 0 and 1.

  • An event is impossible if it has a probability of 0.

Having 13 months in a year has the  probability of 0.

  • An event is certain if it has the probability of 1.

The probability that the sun will rise  tomorrow morning is 1

Answer:

The blue point will be at (4, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers inside the parenthases only affect x, but are revered. If it is -4, move right 4. lf it is 4, move left 4.

Numbers after the patentheses affect the movement of y. When the point is at (4, 0), move up 3.
