Answer:

2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify ratios find the greatest common multiple between the two numbers. For 32 they are 1,2,4,8,16,32 and for 48 they are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48. They both share 1,2,4,8 and 16 and the greatest is 16. Now divide both numbers by 16 to get the new ratio which is 2:3

An ant begins at the top of the pictured octahedron. If the ant takes two "steps", what is the probability it ends up at the bot

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

$P_{bottom}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting from the top, the ant can only take four different directions, all of them going down, every direction has a probability of 1/4. For the second step, regardless of what direction the ant walked, it has 4 directions: going back (or up), to the sides (left or right) and down. If the probability of the first step is 1/4 for each direction and once the ant has moved one step, there are 4 directions with the same probability (1/4 again), the probability of taking a specific path is the multiplication of the probability of these two steps:

$P_{2steps}=\frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{16}$
