Please can someone help thank you very much :)

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2/6 means that 2 out of the 6 tills have comfy seats. 2/6 simplified is 1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of tilts is 6

The amount of tilts with comfortable seats is 2

So there are two tilts with comfortable seats out of six tilts that are in the supermarket

Now write it as fraction:

$\frac{2}{6}$ = $\frac{2*1}{2*3}$ (alternatively 2/6)

Here we get the probability

// divide numerator and denominator by 2

$\frac{2*1}{2*3}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ (alternatively 1/3)
