Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out which is larger, you must first find  the common denominator.

Multiply the denominators to find a common denominator:

8 x 5 = 40

Then, cross-multiply to find the new numerators:

2 x 8 = 16   3 x 5 = 15

You now have:

2/5 = 16/40    and    3/8 = 15/40

So, 2/5 is larger!

In one game, the ratio of three-point baskets to three-point tries for one team was 3:8. If the team scored 27 points from three
nasty-shy [4]

Since we’ve been given a ratio, 3:8, we can convert that into a fraction and form an equation from it:

\frac{3}{8} = \frac{27/3}{?}

The reason the numerator on the second fraction is 27/3 is because the team scored 27 points, not 27 baskets.

Simplify (Also replace the ? with an unknown variable):

\frac{3}{8} = \frac{9}{n}

Cross multiply:

3*n = 9*8

Simplify:

3n = 72

Divide both sides by 3:

n = 24

The team had 33 three point tries, 9 successes, and 24 fails.

-T.B.

If you flip a coin and roll a 6-sided die, what is the probability that you will flip a tails and roll at least a 2?
Finger [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Flipping a tails and rolling at least a tail are 2 independent events: they don't affect each other. So, to get the probability of both happening, we just need to multiply the probability of one by the probability of the other. he probability of rolling at least a 2 is 5/6.
