2/3a - 2= 1/3
add 2 to both sides
2/3a= 2 1/3
change mixed fraction to improper
2/3a= 7/3
divide both sides by 2/3
a= 7/3 ÷ 2/3
to divide fraction, multiply by reciprocal (inverse)
a= 7/3 * 3/2
a= (7*3)/(3*2)
a= 21/6
reduce by 3
a= 7/2 OR 3 1/2

ANSWER: 7/2 OR 3 1/2

Hope this helps! :)

2/3a - 2 = 1/3
2/3a = 2 + 1/3
2/3a = 7/3
a = (7/3) / (2/3)
a = (7/3) * (3/2)
a = 21/6
a = 7/2 ---- that is the answer

Hope this helps!

Shaun has five coins in his pocket. If he empties the coins onto a table, what is the probability that all five coins will land

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

A. 1/32

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, the probability for one of the coins to land on heads is 1/2 cause a coin have to sides and chance is 50% that it will land on either of its sides.

If you have 2 coins the probability will be 1/2 for the first coin to land on heads and 1/2 for the second one. The overall probability for 2 coins would be (1/2)*(1/2)=1/4. You could also see it is 1/4 because all of the possible combinations of 2 coins are 4 (HH, HT, TH, TT) and HH is one of four.

It's the same if you have 5 coins. The probability will be (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)=1/32 in other words HHHHH is one of 32 possible combinations of 5 coins.
