Answer 40

learn how to use fractions. Math is something you need to deal with all your life. Better learn rather than getting problems solved by others here. You will struggle in your exams.

Answer 41

The fact that you are solving probability problems without a basic knowledge about fractions tells me you either never paid attention in class, or your teacher never bothered to teach you basic arithmetic and algebra.
