John, Britteny, Chloe, Kenji, Warner, and Juliette are in a race and are all considered equally fast what is the probability that John and Britteny would be the first two finishers

Detailed explanations are most welcome

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

  • There are 6 people partaking in this race.
  • If John and Brittney are to be the first two finishers, then 2 out of the 6 people are the said first two finishers.
  • That gives 2/6.
  • By reducing the fraction, we have:(2÷2)/(6÷2) = 1/3.

Hope this helps!
