7 1/12 - 2 3/4
First we have to change mixed numbers to improper fractions
7 1/12 = 7 x 12 + 1 = 85 85/12
2 3/4 = 2 x 4 + 3 = 11 11/4
85/12 - 11/4
Now we need to find the LCD (least common denominator) for 4 and 12
4, 8, 12
12
12 is our LCD, so it becomes our new denominator
85/12 would stay the same because the denominator wasn't changed but for 11/4 our new denominator is 12, so our fraction will change.
11/4 = 33/12
4 goes into 12, 3 times. What you do to the bottom, you do to the top.
3 x 11 = 33
3 x 4 = 12
So, our new fraction is 33/12. Now we subtract
85/12 - 33/12 = 52/12
Now we convert back to a mixed number
52 ÷ 12 = 4 4/12 reduce
4 1/3
Hope this helps.
Answer:
D is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to select which of the options is correct.
The correct option is the option D
Since the die is unfair, we expect that the probability of each of the numbers turning up
will not be equal.
However, we should also expect that if we add the chances of all the numbers occurring together, then the total probability should be equal to 1. But this does not work in this case;
In this case, adding all the probabilities together, we have;
1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/2
= 5(1/12) + 1/2 = 5/12 + 1/2 = 11/12
11/12 is not equal to 1 and thus the probability distribution cannot be correct
