Answer:
Because there are many ways you can simplify an equation, and it will still be the same.
There are 12 cards with different letters & patterns. The probability of randomly choosing [random card] is #[random card]/total cards.
Think of that as ratio as a %chance or probability of written as P(X). The question says to write the %chance as a fraction.
1) 2/12 = 1/6
2) 2/12 = 1/6
3) 0/12 = 0
4) 12/12 = 1
5) This is tricky. M & T would imply one card with both letters on it. 0/12 = 0
6) 4/12 = 1/3
7) 6/12 = 1/2
8) 5/12
9) 3/12 = 1/4
10) 8/12 = 2/3
11) 10/12 = 5/6
12) Odds = [favorable]:[unfavorable] = 5:7
4 consecutive integers...
x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 106
4x + 6 = 106
4x = 106 - 6
4x = 100
x = 100/4
x = 25
x + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26
x + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27
x + 3 = 25 + 3 = 28
ur 4 integers are : 25,26,27,28
40 because 3+6+12 = 21 and 8+11+21 =40
12 years. That is the most representative because it's the median.
