Let's draw!

H                             1                              T
HT                           2                           HT
HTHT                      3                      HTHT
HTHTHT                 4                  HTHTHT
HTHTHTHT            5             HTHTHTHT
HTHTHTHTHT       6        HTHTHTHTHT

You can count the probabilities using this.

HHHHTT
HHHTHT
HHTHHT
HHTHTH
HHHTTH
HTHHHT
HTTHHH
HTHTHH
HTHHTH

THHHHT
THHHTH
THHTHH
THTHHH
TTHHHH

Therefore, I think the probability is 14/64. Not sure so check my work.

What is 5/20 as a percent if you could give an explanation that would be good but if not thats okay
Liono4ka [1.6K]
5/20 can also be represented as 25/100 or 25%. The can be done by multiplying the top and bottom both by 5 and then dividing our numerator (25) by our denominator(100) to get the %.

Two tourists went on a hike at dawn. One went from a to b and another one went from b to a. They met at noon but did not stop an
Alecsey [184]
<span>Dawn was at 6 am. Variables a = distance from a to passing point b = distance from b to passing point c = speed of hiker 1 d = speed of hiker 2 x = number of hours prior to noon when dawn is The first hiker travels for x hours to cover distance a, and the 2nd hiker then takes 9 hours to cover that same distance. This can be expressed as a = cx = 9d cx = 9d x = 9d/c The second hiker travels for x hours to cover distance b, and the 1st hiker then takes 4 hours to cover than same distance. Expressed as b = dx = 4c dx = 4c x = 4c/d We now have two expressions for x, set them equal to each other. 9d/c = 4c/d Multiply both sides by d 9d^2/c = 4c Divide both sides by c 9d^2/c^2 = 4 Interesting... Both sides are exact squares. Take the square root of both sides 3d/c = 2 d/c = 2/3 We now know the ratio of the speeds of the two hikers. Let's see what X is now. x = 9d/c = 9*2/3 = 18/3 = 6 x = 4c/d = 4*3/2 = 12/2 = 6 Both expressions for x, claim x to be 6 hours. And 6 hours prior to noon is 6am. We don't know the actual speeds of the two hikers, nor how far they actually walked. But we do know their relative speeds. And that's enough to figure out when dawn was.</span>
