Question

How mant favorable outcomes are exo ressed in the tion 12/5

a) 5
b) 12
c) 2.4
d) 2.5

Answer 1

To find the favorable outcomes in the expression 12/5a, we set up an equation and solve for 'a'. None of the given options match the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking about the favorable outcomes in the expression 12/5a. In order to find the favorable outcomes, we need to determine how many values of 'a' would make the expression equal to one of the given options: 5, 12, 2.4, or 2.5.

To solve this, we can set up an equation and solve for 'a'.

12/5a = 5

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5a to isolate 'a':

12 = 25a

Divide both sides by 25 to solve for 'a':

a = 12/25

By substituting 'a' with the value we found, we can check which option is equal to the expression:

12/5 * (12/25) = 12/5 * 12/25 = 144/125 = 1.15

Therefore, none of the given options match the expression 12/5a. Hence, there are no favorable outcomes.
