entries. If only the first entry drawn

wins a bike, what are the chances

Jason will win? (Express your answer

    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
