Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of of winning next shot if he scores= 0.5

Probability of missing next shot if he misses = 1/6

a) Probability of scoring 2 shots later if he missed = (1-1/6)^2

=(5/6)^2

=25/36

b) % of successful shots= (1/2+5/6×(1/100))%

=4/3×1/100

=0.013%

422 8/100 fraction notation
Ivenika [448]

The rule to convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction is

a\frac{b}{c} =\frac{(a)(c)+b}{c}

Here in 422\frac{8}{100}

Here a = 422, b = 8 and c = 100

Now a × c = 422 × 100 = 42200

And 42200 + 8 = 42208

So we have

422\frac{8}{100} =\frac{(422)(100)+8}{10}=\frac{42200+8}{100}=\frac{42208}{100}

This fraction can also be reduced  as

\frac{42208}{100}=\frac{10552}{25}

Hence

422\frac{8}{100}=\frac{42208}{100}=\frac{10552}{25}
