If two person chosen at random

Probability that first officer is girl and second is a boy

=\text{Probability of choosing a girl officer}\times \text{Probability of choosing a boy officer}

If a coin is flipped and then a six-sided number cube is rolled, what is the probability that the outcome will be Heads and a 2?
Lina20 [59]
The probability is 1/12.

There are two outcomes for flipping a coin and 6 for rolling a 6-sided number cube.  The sample space is:
(H, 1), (H, 2), (H, 3), (H, 4), (H, 5), (H, 6)
(T, 1), (T, 2), (T, 3), (T, 4), (T, 5), (T, 6)

There are 12 total outcomes.  Only one has heads and a 2, so the probability is 1/12.

If Adam does not make his payments on time, the bank will charge an additional fee due to late payment.
The bank can also demand the possession of the car if Adam fail to pay for the entire loan despite many chances given by the bank.

27 1/5 over 4/5 as a unit rate
REY [17]

Answer:

\frac{34}{1}  or 34

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the unit rate divide 27 1/5 by 4/5

but first

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

27\frac{1}{5}=27+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{27*5+1}{5} =\frac{136}{5}

so

\frac{136}{5}:\frac{4}{5}=\frac{136}{4}=\frac{34}{1}
