Because 1/2 of 6 =1/3 and 1/2×1/3=1/6

The number 3 can be expressed as a fraction 3/1. If we multiply the fraction 1/6 by 3/1 we get:
1/6 x 3/1 = (1 x 3)/(6 x 1)
(1 x 3)/(6 x 1) = 3/6
Now just simplify the fraction:
3/6 = 1/2

<span>I believe for twelve (12) months.

Site A: $49.95 plus $59.40(4.95 x 12) equals $109.35

Site B: $9.95 x 12 equals $119.40

No, wait that's not right.

Okay, at 8 months, site A is pretty much at $90 (forget the nickels) and site B is $80 so site B is less.
At 7 months, site A is $85 and site B is $70 so site B is less.
At 9 months, site A is $95 and site B is $90 so site B is less.
At 10 months, site A $100 and site B is $100

It's got to be around 10 months somewhere.

Ten months would be $99.45 for site A and $99.50 for site B so B is less.

Eleven months is $104.40 for A and $109.45 for B so now B is more.</span>

A bag contains five yellow tickets numbered one to five. The bag also contains five green tickets numbered one to five. You rand

The probability of picking a ticket that is green or has a number greater than four is 3/5

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Yellow = 1 - 5

Green = 1 - 5

Total = 10

There are 2 cards whose numbers are greater than 4 i.e. Yellow 5 and Green 5

So, we have:

P(Number greater than 4) = 2/10

There are 5 green cards.

So, we have:

P(Green) = 5/10

Also, 1 green card is numbered greater than 4

So, we have:

P(Green greater than 4) = 1/10

The required probability is:

P = P(Green) + P(Number greater than 4) - P(Green greater than 4)

This gives

P = 5/10 + 2/10 - 1/10

Evaluate

P = 6/10

Simplify

P =3/5

Hence, the probability of picking a ticket that is green or has a number greater than four is 3/5
