Answer:
coin flip is 1/2
2 numbers are less than 3 so 2/6 = 1/3
1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6 probability total
240 x 1/6 = 40
answer is C) 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Fractions can be simplified by making sure that the numerator and the denominator cannot be divided by any number.
The given 12/60 is very obvious that it is divisible by 2.
After dividing by 2, you will get 6/30.
It seems it is not in simplest form. It is divisible by 3.
Dividing the numerator and denominator by 3 then you will get
2/15.
So the lowest term is 2/15.

B = 43
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: the cost per unit of gas is $0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost per unit of electricity.
Let y represent the cost per unit of gas.
During one month, a homeowner used 500 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of $333. This is expressed as
500x + 100y = 333 - - - -- - -- - -- -1
The next month, 400 units of electricity and 150 units of gas were used for a total cost of $286. This is expressed as
400x + 150y = 286 - - - - - - - - - --2
Multiplying equation 1 by 400 and equation 2 by 500, it becomes
200000x + 40000y = 133200
200000x + 75000y = 143000
Subtracting, it becomes
- 35000y = - 9800
y = - 9800/- 35000
y = 0.28
Substituting y = 0.28 into equation 2, it becomes
400x + 150 × 0.28 = 286
400x = 286 - 42 = 244
x = 244/400 = 0.61
