Question

How many favorable outcomes are expressed in the fraction 12/5

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of favorable outcomes is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

How many favorable outcomes are expressed in the fraction 5/12

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.  

The size of the event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in or the number of favorable outcomes

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes  

 In this problem we have

$\frac{5}{12}$

therefore

The number of favorable outcomes is 5

The total number of possible outcomes is 12
