Jamie has 8/10 of a candy bar, and wants to split it into an unknown number of 1/3 pieces. Our objective is to find the number of pieces.

Let the number of pieces be x.

To know the portion of the candy bar each piece is, we divide the total portion of the candy bar by the number of pieces.

So (8/10)/x = 1/3

Multiply each side by x

8/10 = 1/3x

Divide each side by 1/3 so we can have the variable x on a side, and its value on another.

(8/10)/(1/3) = (1/3x)/(1/3)

(8/10) / (1/3) = x

Dividing 2 fractions is equal to multiplying the first fraction by the inverse of the second:

(8/10) / (1/3) = x

(8/10) * 3 = x

24/10 = x

x = 2.4


Since this not a whole number, Jamie can make 2 full 1/3 pieces, and a piece of 1/10.

Or, you can easily say that Jamie can make 2.4 pieces of 1/3.

An advertiser drops 10,000 leaflets on a city which has 2000 blocks. Assume that each leaflet has an equal chance of landing on
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

0.00673

Step-by-step explanation:

As each of the 10000 leaflets has equal chance on landing into 1 of the 2000 blocks, this means each leaflet has a probability of 1/2000 to land on the 1st block, 1/2000 to land on the 2nd lock, 1/2000 to land on the 3rd block, and so on.

The probability that a particular block will receive no leaflet is chance of each leaflets to land on the other 1999 blocks, which has a chance of 1999/2000. For all 10000 leaflets to happen like this independently, then the total probability is

\left(\frac{1999}{2000}\right)^{10000} = 0.00673
