Here

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

you have to subtract 8 from 32 see how many times you landed on tails

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Yes^

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

it will be that number to 32

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

No it won't^

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

It will be that number to 8

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

sorry to 8 ^-^

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

not 32 ^_^

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

So basically (32 - 8) : 8

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

24

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Yes, so you get 24 : 8, but that can be simplfied.

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

how

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Remember last time? Simplify it like it's a fraction. How would you simplify 24/8?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

hint*can be divided by 4

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

2

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Actually, it can be simplfied further than that @RhondaSommer

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

What is 24 divivded by 8?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

divided*

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

@truwhovian11

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

3

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yes, so the ratio would simplify to 3: 1

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

ok thx more plz
