Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

one way we can solve this is by making a tree using H for heads and T for tails

since it can land H or T, we put them down like this. then we can get H or T again because its a coin, so we put that under each letter. finally we do the same thing again to get 8 possibilities. now we can count how many of them was HHH, which is one

H T

/ \ / \

H T H T

/\ /\ /\ /\

H T H T H T H T

^ this one

or do 2 x 2 x 2 because there are 2 possibilities each three times
