The ratio of heads to total number of coin flips is 5:12.
What is a word problem?
A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.
For the given situation,
Number of times a coin is flipped = 300 times
Number of times the coin landed heads up = 125 times
Thus the ratio of heads to total number of coin flips is
Ratio = \(125:300\)
Divide by 25 on both sides, we get
⇒ Ratio = \(\frac{125}{25}:\frac{300}{25}\)
⇒ Ratio = \(5:12\)
Hence we can conclude that the ratio of heads to total number of coin flips is 5:12.
