Answer:27/220

Step-by-step explanation:

She must have 2 �1 coins and 1 50p coin.

She can choose the 2 �1 coins 3C2 = 3 ways.

For each of those 3 ways she can choose the

50p coin 9C1 or 9 ways.

That's 3�9=27 ways to get �2.50.

She can choose any 3 coins in 12C3 = 220 ways.

The desired probability is 27 ways out of

220 ways,or 27/220, or 13.5% of the time.

can some one explain to me how fractions work who ever explains it well gets brainliest, adding, subtracting, multiplying, divid

Ludmilka [50]

Adding: When adding fractions, you want to make sure that the denominator is the same for both fractions. If they are already the same, just add both the numerators to get the answer. For example,
$\frac{3 }{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}$
If the denominator is different in both fractions, you have to find the least common denominator, or LCD. The LCD is the smallest number that both denominators can multiply into. For example, say you need to find
$\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{3}$

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of (1/3) by 2 to get (2/6). This way, the denominators are the same and you can find the answer.
$\frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{3}{6}$
In the case that one denominator does not go into the other, find the smallest number they both multiply into. For example,
$\frac{1}{3 } + \frac{1}{4}$
Here, the smallest number that both 4 and 3 multiply into is 12. Multiply both fractions by the correct amount to make both denominators 12. It would then become
$\frac{4}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{7}{12}$
Subtraction: follow the same rules as addition, except subtract the numerators instead of adding them.

Multiplication: multiply both numerators and both denominators.
$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{8}{15}$
Division: Flip one of the fractions and multiply.
$\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{4}{5}$
Becomes
$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{10}{12} = \frac{5}{6}$
Hope this explains it all. Let me know if you have any questions :)
