Question

A coin is flipped 20 times. The coin lands on HEADS 12 times. Write the ratio for landing on heads in fraction and percent form.

Answer 1

12/20

60%

Explanation:

A fraction has a numerator and denominator

The numerator is the total number of heads

The denominator is the total number of times the coin was flipped

`(12)/(20)`

To express in percent form, multiply by 100

`(12)/(20)` x 100 = 60%
