-0.5 / 0.021 = -23.8
0.4 / -0.4 = -1
Hope this helps:)
Let x be the probability of winning and let y be the probability of losing. Then we can write the following equation:
2x - y = -0.65 ..............(1)
the sum of the probabilities of winning and losing must equal 1.
x + y = 1............(2)
Rearranging (2), gives:
y = 1 - x ............(3)
Plugging the expression for y from (3) into (1), we get:
2x - 1 + x = -0.65
which simplifies to:
3x = 0.35
Therefore x = 0.117 and y = 0.883.
The expected value of the game will be a loss of 65 cents if the probability of winning is 0.117 and the probability of losing is 0.883.
Answer:
<em> 4/12 and 6/18</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the fraction 2/6
We are to write 2 different equivalent fractions that are the same as 2/6
To do this, we will multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction by same constant. Multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 will give;
2/6 * 2/2
= (2*2)/(6*2)
= 4/12
Also multiplying by a value of 3
= 2/6 * 3/3
= (2*3)/(6*3)
= 6/18
<em>Hence the 2 different equivalent fractions are 4/12 and 6/18</em>
