Probability in Snakes & Ladders
This was my task in Mathematics.
It was to find out the probability of chance in the game of snakes and ladder. Most games have an element of chance in them, and Snakes and Ladders do too. But because it's a game of chance I found out that the chance of landing on a ladder is 2/25 and on a snake is 2/25 as well.
This is not that hard because this is how I worked it out:
There are 8 ladders out of 100 squares on the board. There are also 8 snakes on the board. This is the same fraction as 2/25. So 8/100 = 2/25.
When you play Snakes and Ladders you think about the number of times you can land on the ladder and you have to be careful about the number the snakes are on.
