Answer:

the probability of a coin landing on heads 3 times in a row is 1/8 or 0.125 or 12.5%

Explanation:

the chance of landing heads once is 1/2, for it to be 2 times in a row its 1/4, and 3 times in a row its 1/8, basically every time you want to do it in a row you multiply 1/2, so for example for this question you multiply 1/2 by however times you want the coin to land on heads in a row, (1/2) X(1/2)X(1/2)
