The probability of Jake winning a contest is 0.25
It's a deal. Give me a question, and I'll give you an answer in units.
Percentage by which the gas tank of the car is full = 40%
Amount of gas in the gas tank = 8 gallons
Let us assume the capacity of the gas tank = x gallons
Then
40% * x = 8
(40/100) * x = 8
4x/10 = 8
4x = 8 * 10
4x = 80
x = 80/4
= 20 gallons
So the total capacity of the gas tank of the car is 20 gallons. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
Imagine that the class only had 4 students (unrealistic most likely, but small numbers help much better I think)
If we had 4 students and 3 were boys, then 4-3 = 1 girl is in the class. This makes the ratio of boys to girls be 3 to 1. In other words, there are 3 times as many boys compared to girls.
Divide the number of girls (1) over the number of students total (4) to get 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
<h3>Answer: 25%</h3>
