6 2/5 ÷ 2 6/7

2/5 is smaller than 1/2 ⇒ discard
6 2/5 ≈ 6

6/7 is more than 1/2 ⇒ add 1 to the whole
2 6/7 ≈ 3

6 2/5 ÷ 2 6/7 ≈ 6 ÷ 3 = 2

Which expression is equivalent to 3\dfrac78 - 6\dfrac143 8 7 −6 4 1 3, start fraction, 7, divided by, 8, end fraction, minus

Sophie [7]

Answer:

$-2\dfrac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

$3\dfrac78 - 6\dfrac14$

We are to simplify and obtain an equivalent expression.

Step 1: Change to Improper Fractions

$3\dfrac78 - 6\dfrac14=\dfrac{31}{8}-\dfrac{25}{4}$

Step 2: Take the Lowest Common multiple of the denominators

LCM of 8 and 4 is 8.

Therefore:

$\dfrac{31}{8}-\dfrac{25}{4}=\dfrac{31-2(25)}{8}\\\\\dfrac{31-50)}{8}\\\\=-\dfrac{19}{8}\\\\=-2\dfrac{3}{8}$

Therefore, an equivalent expression to $3\dfrac78 - 6\dfrac14$ is $-2\dfrac{3}{8}$ .

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilities

When flipping three fair coins, we can get the following events, being H=Heads, T=Tails

$\Omega=\{HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT\}$

We are looking for the probability of only one specific outcome: THT. The probability to get exactly that combination one out of 8 possible results, that is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{1}{8}=0.125$

The probability to get a tail on the first flip, a head on the second flip, and another tail on the third flip is 12.5%
