Answer:  The correct option is (A) one over two.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Tommy has a piece of toast that has butter on one side and he dropped it twice. Both times, it landed with the butter side up.

We are to find the probability that it will land butter side up a total of three times if he drops the piece of bread two more times.

Since the piece of bread has already landed two times with butter side up, so to make it three times landed butter side,

it should land one of the two more times land with butter side up.

Let, S be the sample space for the next two drops.

Then, n(S) = 2.

Let, E be the event that the piece of bread land with butter side up in the next two drops.

Then, n(E) = 1.

Therefore, the probability of event E is given by

P(E)=\dfrac{n(E)}{n(S)}\\\\\\\Rightarrow P(E)=\dfrac{1}{2}.

Thus, the required probability that the piece of bread landed three times with butter side up is \dfrac{1}{2}.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute Value is the distance from 0, so when you have -|22| that means its the absolute value of 22 then add the negative sign so that means it's further from 0 than |-22|.
