Jason was so sure he would win the

drawing for a new bike! The rules

were that a person could enter as

many times as he wanted, so Jason

had sent in 15 entries. There were 381

entries. If only the first entry drawn

wins a bike, what are the chances

Jason will win? (Express your answer

as a fraction in lowest terms.)

5 / 127

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability he will win is 15 / 381. We need to reduce this fraction. 15 is 3 times 5. 381 isn't divisible by 5, but it is divisible by 3 and 127.

15 / 381

(3*5) / (3*127)

5 / 127
