A tree diagram can be drawn for a clearer understanding. The branches of the tails can be ignored since we are not concerned about that. To find the probability along the branches, we just have to multiply the probabilities of each branch, giving you an answer of 1/128
Forty three million, eighty thousand seven hundred
8x+2.50=3.50
-2.50 -2.50 subtract both sides by -2.50
8x=1
8. 8 divide both sides by 8
x=1/8
1/2 would not be a useful benchmark to compare these 2 fractions because both of them are greater than half. The benchmark fraction 1/2 is most useful when one fraction is less than half and the other more than 1/2. 5/8 is more than 4/8(1/2), and 9/10 is more than 5/10(1/2).
5600 is 100 times larger than 56
