First, we need to convert all the fractions to have the same denominator. 10 and 25 are both multiples of 100, so 100 would be appropriate.
Sam has a 7/25 chance. Because we want ?/100, something needs to change. To get from 25 to 100, you need to times 25 by 4, right? So, do the same with the 7.
7 x 4 = 28. Therefore Sam has a 28/100 chance.
Sue has 3/10. Using the same method, we can see that 3 needs to be multiplied by 10 (because 10 times 10 = 100). So Sue has a 30/100 chance.
Tom is already in the fraction we like, so just keep this as 21/100.
Now, add 28/100, 30/100 and 21/100 to get 79/100.
Because won of them will get the role of class president, we know that the probability adds to 1. To get a full probability (100/100, or 1), what needs to be added to 79/100?
Another way of going about this is 100/100-79/100. The answer is 21/100
The probability of Liz winning is 21/100.
Let me know if this is still unclear, I would be more than happy to explain in more detail if necessary :)
Answer:
3 (28 n - 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
-9 (1 - 10 n) - 2 (3 n + 9)
-9 (1 - 10 n) = 90 n - 9:
90 n - 9 - 2 (3 n + 9)
-2 (3 n + 9) = -6 n - 18:
90 n + -6 n - 18 - 9
Grouping like terms, 90 n - 6 n - 18 - 9 = (90 n - 6 n) + (-9 - 18):
(90 n - 6 n) + (-9 - 18)
90 n - 6 n = 84 n:
84 n + (-9 - 18)
-9 - 18 = -27:
84 n + -27
Factor 3 out of 84 n - 27:
Answer: 3 (28 n - 9)
Answer:
Suppose you have a fair coin: this means it has a 50% chance of landing heads up and a 50% chance of landing tails up. Suppose you flip it three times and these flips are independent. What is the probability that it lands heads up, then tails up, then heads up? So the answer is 1/8, or 12.5%.

If the triangle is an equilateral triangle, then all three angles are exactly 60 degrees each. A right-angled triangle has one angle of 90 degrees, which is the right angle, with two more angles that total 90 degrees when added together.
