I flipped a coin 5 times, and 2 times it landed on heads. What is the ratio of heads to total flips?

1 answer

The ratio of heads to total flips can be calculated by dividing the number of heads by the total number of flips. In this case, you flipped the coin 5 times and it landed on heads 2 times.

The ratio is:

\[ \text{Ratio of heads to total flips} = \frac{\text{Number of heads}}{\text{Total flips}} = \frac{2}{5} \]

Thus, the ratio of heads to total flips is \( 2:5 \).
