First, use the random number table to generate the possible probabilities but only account the first four digits in order to get a value that is a percentage
35.85%
28.97%
90.12%
5.07%
20.43%
The average is
36.09%
There is a 36.09% probability that the light will be green when reaches the traffic light
Answer: 212 7/20
Step-by-step explanation: We know that 212 is the whole number. So we need to convert .35 into a fraction in simplest form. Any decimal that has a hundredths place will be divided by 100 to get the fraction. In this case that fraction would be 35/100. And to convert that into simplest form, you need to find the least (or lowest) common denominator which is 5. Then you divide the numerator and denominator by 5 and get 7/20, so your answer is 212 7/20
Let x = the amount of time that the third person needs to work on the job to add up to one
1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + x
1 - 1/2 - 1/3 = x
To subtract the fractions we need to put them all over a common denominator. Let's use 3*2 = 6 as the denominator; so 1 = 6/6, 1/2 = 3/6, 1/3 = 2/6:
6/6 - 3/6 - 2/6 = x
1/6 = x
The third person must work 1/6 time on the project.
