Please answer as soon as possible as i need the answer fast

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sf \dfrac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}$

From inspection of the diagram:

• Total number of pawns = 16
• Total number of squares = 64

$\implies \textsf{P(landing on a pawn)} \sf = \dfrac{\textsf{Total number of pawns}}{\textsf{Total number of squares}}$

$\implies \textsf{P(landing on a pawn)} \sf = \dfrac{16}{64}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\sf probability : \bf 0.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The dimensions of a chess board is (8 × 8)
2. There are 64 squares on a chess board.
3. There are 8 black pawns and 8 white pawns.
4. Total pawns in a chess board: (8 + 8) = 16 pawns on 16 squares.

$\sf Probability = \dfrac{favorable \ outcomes}{total \ outcomes}$

$\dashrightarrow \ \sf probability : \ \bf \dfrac{16}{64}$

$\dashrightarrow \ \sf probability : \ \bf \dfrac{1}{4} \ \ \approx \ \ 0.25 \ \ (as \ a \ decimal)$
