Heads will come up when you draw the two headed coin 1/2 This 1/2 is for the draw. You have certainty of getting heads from this coin.
On a fair coin, probability of drawing the coin is 1/2
The probability of getting heads is 1/2
The probability is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 with this coin
The total probability = 1/4 + 1/2 = 3/4 or 0.75 of getting heads.
Therefore the probability of drawing the 2 headed coin is 1/2 // 3/4
0.5 / 0.75 = 0.666666
