Question

Tommy is thinking about entering a contest at the local gas station. Some of Tommy's friends explained to him that the probability of winning the free tank of gas was 0.27. Tommy understands probabilities better when they are given in ratio form. (For example 1 out of every 6 will win. Give Tommy your estimate of 0.27 probability in ratio form

Answer 1

`(27)/(100)`

Explanation:

The number
`0.27` can be attained by the following expression

`0.27=(k27)/(k100)`

Where

`k` = any positive positive integer.

Let us take the minimum ratio

`0.27=(1* 27)/(1* 100)`

`=(27)/(100)`

where
`k = 1`

So, the probability estimate in ratio form is
`(27)/(100)`.
