We have to divide 9/10 by 3/12.
if we divide by a fraction, we can instead multiply by it's inverse:

so now we count:

so we can cut exactly 3 pieces!
Answer:
a) ![P[C]=p^n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BC%5D%3Dp%5En)
b) ![P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8p%5En%29)
c) n=62
d) n=138
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: "Each chip contains n transistors"
a) A chip needs all n transistor working to function correctly. If p is the probability that a transistor is working ok, then:
![P[C]=p^n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BC%5D%3Dp%5En)
b) The memory module works with when even one of the chips is defective. It means it works either if 8 chips or 9 chips are ok. The probability of the chips failing is independent of each other.
We can calculate this as a binomial distribution problem, with n=9 and k≥8:
![P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(p^{n}+9(1-p^n))\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC_9%5D%2BP%5BC_8%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3D%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B9%7DP%5BC%5D%5E9%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E0%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B8%7DP%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E1%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC%5D%5E9%2B9P%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B9n%7D%2B9p%5E%7B8n%7D%281-p%5En%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%28p%5E%7Bn%7D%2B9%281-p%5En%29%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8p%5En%29)
c)
![P[M]=(0.999)^{8n}(9-8(0.999)^n)=0.9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3D%280.999%29%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8%280.999%29%5En%29%3D0.9)
This equation was solved graphically and the result is that the maximum number of chips to have a reliability of the memory module equal or bigger than 0.9 is 62 transistors per chip. See picture attached.
d) If the memoty module tolerates 2 defective chips:
![P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]+P[C_7]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1+\binom{9}{7}P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])+36P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)+36p^{7n}(1-p^n)^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC_9%5D%2BP%5BC_8%5D%2BP%5BC_7%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3D%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B9%7DP%5BC%5D%5E9%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E0%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B8%7DP%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E1%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B7%7DP%5BC%5D%5E7%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC%5D%5E9%2B9P%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%2B36P%5BC%5D%5E7%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B9n%7D%2B9p%5E%7B8n%7D%281-p%5En%29%2B36p%5E%7B7n%7D%281-p%5En%29%5E2)
We again calculate numerically and graphically and determine that the maximum number of transistor per chip in this conditions is n=138. See graph attached.

Change the mixed fractions to improper fractions.
To do this, multiply the whole number part by the denominator. Add that to the numerator. Then write the result on top of the denominator.
You would now have:

Change the division sign to a multiplication sign by turning the second fraction upside down.
That is,

The answer is:

This can be simplified to:
Answer:
50/100 x X = 1.5
x 100 x100
50x = 150
÷50 ÷50
X = 3
X = 3 liters I am pretty sure
