Jackie has cheering practice on Thursday and Friday if it doesn't rain. Thursday there is a 20% chance of rain and Friday there is a 40% chance of rain. What percent chance is there that it will rain on both Thursday and Friday? IF YOU DON'T SHOW YOUR WORK I WILL REPORT YOUR ANSWER.

Answer 1

right so thur is 20% or 1/5 fri is 40 or 2/5 times em together 1x2 is 2 amd 5x5 is 25 so it is 2/25 or 8% chance

Answer 2

Well, 20% is 1/5 in fraction form. 40% is 2/5 in fraction form.

1/5 * 2/5 = 2/25.

2/25 in fraction form is 8%.

Your answer should be that there's an 8% chance that it will rain on both Thurs. & Fri. !
