explain why multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number results in an equivalent fraction

1 answer:

8 0

Think: You're treating the numerator and the denom. in precisely the same way. In doing so you are NOT changing the value of the fraction, only the appearance.

Example: start with 2/3. Mult num. and den. both by 7: 14/21.

2/3 and 14/21 result in precisely the same decimal fraction, showing that the latter set of fractions is equivalent to the former set.

The probability that the Yankees will lose when they score fewer than 5 runs is 17.16%.

<h3><u>Probability </u></h3>

Given that this season, the probability that the Yankees will win a game is 0.61 and the probability that the Yankees will score 5 or more runs in a game is 0.56, and the probability that the Yankees win and score 5 or more runs is 0.44, to determine what is the probability that the Yankees will lose when they score fewer than 5 runs the following calculation must be made:

1 - 0.61 = 0.39
1 - 0.56 = 0.44
0.39 x 0.44 = X
0.1716 = X

Therefore, the probability that the Yankees will lose when they score fewer than 5 runs is 17.16%.
