Question

if someone tosses a penny and the ratio of heads to tails is 4 to 3. And she tosses it 84 total times. how many of her tosses were heads

Answer 1

116 times I guess.....

Answer 2

Hey friend here is your answer :

Given the ratio of heads to tails is 4 : 3

The girl tosses for 84 times

Let no. of heads be 4x

And no. of tails be 3x

So according to the question

4x + 3x = 84

7x = 84

x = 12

4x = 12 × 4 = 48

3x = 12 × 3 = 36

So 48 of her tosses were heads.

Hope it helps.
