A textbook has 428 numbered pages, starting with 1. You are equally likely to stop on any of the pages if you flip through the book randomly.

What is the probability that you turn to page 45?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/428

Step-by-step explanation: There are 428 pages so that is the denominator. 45 is only one page so 1 is the numerator. Therefore it is a 1 in 428 chance that you would land on 45. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

1/428 or 0.00233644859% chance
