Answer:

A. 1/32

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, the probability for one of the coins to land on heads is 1/2 cause a coin have to sides and chance is 50% that it will land on either of its sides.

If you have 2 coins the probability will be 1/2 for the first coin to land on heads and 1/2 for the second one. The overall probability for 2 coins would be (1/2)*(1/2)=1/4. You could also see it is 1/4 because all of the possible combinations of 2 coins are 4 (HH, HT, TH, TT) and HH is one of four.

It's the same if you have 5 coins. The probability will be (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)=1/32 in other words HHHHH is one of 32 possible combinations of 5 coins.

There are 3.79 L in every gallon how many liters of gas does a 13.6 gallon tank hold
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

51.544 L  in our tank

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a 13.6 gallon tank

Our conversion factor is 3.79 L = 1 gallon.  We want liters on top since that is where we want to end up

3.79 L /1 gallon is what we want to use

13.6 * 3.79L/1 gallon = 51.544 L  in our tank

A cable is <br> 40<br><br> meters long. How long is the cable in decimeters?
AnnyKZ [126]
Hello,

1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters.

SO, 
if we convert 40 meters to decimeters, we multiply 40 meters by 10 decimeters, getting 400 decimeters.

Hope this helps!
