Question

a magazine contains twelve pages. you open up to a random page. what is the probability that the page number is nine or eleven​

Answer 1

`(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

If there are 12 pages in a book, then there are 12 possible outcomes when one opens up a book. There are only two possibilities when a person opens up either 9 or 11. Probability is;

`(wanted-outcomes)/(total-outcomes)`

Wanted-comes = 2

total-outcomes = 12

`(2)/(12)\\\\=(1)/(6)`

Answer 2

1/6

Explanation:

2/12 can be simplified to 1/6
