The fraction 6/10 is equivalent to which of the following? 12/24 or 24/40 or 3/6 or 16/20

It is equivalent to 24/40

24/40

Step-by-step explanation:

You can multiply both the numerator and denominator by any number

Option #3: Lets multiply by 1/2 since when you multiply 6*1/2 it equals 3 and that is the same numerator as option #3 and so now let's do the same again to the denominator 10*1/2 equals 5 and that is NOT equal to 6 in the denominator for option #3 and you can't get 3 any other way than multiplying by 1/2 (same as *.5) and so it is wrong.

Now since we know how to do it I'll just do the math for the rest.

Option 1:

6/10

6*2/10*2

12/20 and that doesn't match so it's wrong.

Option 2:

6/10

6*4/10*4

=

24/40

It matches so it's correct let's try option 4 just to check.

Option 4:

6/10

6*2/10*2

12/20

that doesn't match so it's wrong (you could have tried multiplying by decimals by I doubt you are there to that kind of math yet.)

24/40

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
