yes.

Answer 2

The number of games his friend could win is:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

You and your friend have a weekly chess match that you usually win 55% of the time.

Now the simulation that is used is:

0-54.

This means that the simulation is based on the 54 matches.

So, the number of matches that the friend will win is:

(100-55)% of the 54 mathches.

= 45% of the 54 matches.

which is equal to:

`=(45)/(100)* 54\\\\=24.30`

Now it is given that the friend is able to win 5 consecutive matches.

This means that his friend could maximum win:

24.30/5=4.86

which in whole numbers is:

4.

Hence, the number of consecutive games that his friend could win is:

4
