Question

John, Britteny, Chloe, Kenji, Warner, and Juliette are in a race and are all considered equally fast what is the probability that John and Britteny would be the first two finishers

Detailed explanations are most welcome

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

• There are 6 people partaking in this race.
• If John and Brittney are to be the first two finishers, then 2 out of the 6 people are the said first two finishers.
• That gives 2/6.
• By reducing the fraction, we have:(2÷2)/(6÷2) = 1/3.

Hope this helps!
