Imagine cutting up a pizza into 5 slices

If you take 2 slices, then you take 2 out of the 5, so the fractional amount you took is 2/5 of the full pizza.

If your friend takes 3 slices, then she or he takes 3/5 of the full pizza

Adding the two fractional amounts should get us back to 1 full pizza, which is why 2/5+3/5 = 1.

-----------

We could say this:

2/5 + 3/5 = (2+3)/5 = 5/5 = 1

Dividing any number over itself, as long it's not zero, always leads to 1.

So that's why 5/5 = 1.

St. Mary's Church is holding a raffle in which 1172 tickets have been sold at a cost of $2.00 each. Three prizes will be awarded
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that St. Mary's Church is holding a raffle in which 1172 tickets have been sold at a cost of $2.00 each.

Three prizes will be awarded: 1 for S500;1 for $250; 1 for $125.

Thus total number of tickets = 1172

Of these prize winning are 3

i.e. Tickets        Prize $     Net win amount            Prob       Net win amt*prob

         1                 500                (500-2) =448          1/1172           448/1172

         1                250                 (250-2) =248          1/1172           248/1172

          1               125                   (125-2) =123            1/1172          123/1172

       1169               0                    (0-2) =    -2             1169/1172    -2338/1172

Expected value = Total                                                                 -1519/1172

=-1.296

Why is it impossible to list the set of rational numbers using the roster method?
dsp73
It is impossible to list the set of rational numbers using the roster method because the set of rational numbers is uncountable/inumerable.

There is no way to list all the members of the set of rational numbers.
