Question

Someone help me please! i will reward brainliest! this is geometry​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/192

Step-by-step explanation:

So, lets go over what we know:

There are 24 different sections on the circle.

3 of them are 500$.

1 of them are lose a turn.

Now, to find the answer, here is what we have to remember.

There are two different things you work with when solving this area of geometry.

"and" and "or"

When they say "or", you have two seperate chances, these chances need to be added together.

When they say "and", like in this question, you have two chances in the same thing. These chances need to be multiplyied together.

If this is a bit confusing, think of this another way:

When "or" = add one chance from the other.

In this case:

3/24 + 1/24=4/24.

However, "and" = multiply one chance by the other.

In this case:

3/24*1/24 = 3/576

This question is using "and". So our answer is:

3/576

This can be simplyfied as:

1/192

So this is our answer!

Hope this isnt to confusing and helps! :D
