Answer:
probability that contractor 1,2 and 3 win is 33%,50% and 17% respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
assuming that there are no other contractors then:
probability that 1 , 2 or 3 win = 1
denoting as X= probability that contractor 3 wins , then assuming that only one wins , we have
probability that 1 , 2 or 3 win = 1
probability that contractor 1 wins + probability that contractor 2 wins + probability that contractor 3 wins = 1
2*P(X) + 3*P(X) + P(X) = 1
6*P(X) = 1
P(X) =1/6
then
-probability that contractor 1 wins = 2/6 (33%)
-probability that contractor 3 wins = 3/6 (50%)
-probability that contractor 3 wins = 1/6 (17%)
Answer:
We want to simplify:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5)
The first step is to write the first term as a single rational number.
We know that:
3*1 = 3
and 4/4 = 1
then:
3*1 = 3*(4/4) = (3*4)/4 = 12/4
We do this because we want to have the same denominator in both numbers, so we can directly add them.
Then we get:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (12/4 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (13/4)*(3/5)
And remember that in the multiplication of rational numbers the numerator are multiplied together and the same for the denominators, then we get:
(13/4)*(3/5) = (13*3)/(4*5)
If we solve the multiplications we get:
(13*3)/(4*5) = (39/20)
Now, we can notice that in the numerator we have two prime numbers, 13 and 3.
And in the denominators, we have a 4 (which is equal to 2*2) and a 5.
So the prime numbers in the numerator and the denominator are all different, this means that we can not simplify it furthermore.
Then we have:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (39/20)
