You have to simplify diagonally them multiply Example:
3
5. 18. 15
__. / ___ =. ___ =
6. 2. 12
1
3/4
Cross simplify
The answer is 1 because 1x7=+7
Answer:
This is the same as writing (n-m)/n
Don't forget about the parenthesis if you go with the second option.
==================================================
Explanation:
The probability that she wins is m/n, where m,n are placeholders for positive whole numbers.
For instance, m = 2 and n = 5 leads to m/n = 2/5. This would mean that out of n = 5 chances, she wins m = 2 times.
The probability of her not winning is 1 - (m/n). We subtract the probability of winning from 1 to get the probability of losing.
We could leave the answer like this, but your teacher says that the answer must be "in the form of a combined single fraction".
Doing a bit of algebra would have these steps
and now the expression is one single fraction.
G=24+w
r=2w
g+w+r=124
Substitute the values to get 24+w+w+2w=124
Simplifies to 4w=100. Therefore, Wayne has 25. Greg has 24 more than Wayne, so he has 49. Ronald would have 50.
