Tom tosses a coin. Every toss lands on either heads or tails. The coin lands on heads two thirds of the first 24 games. The coin then lands on heads the next 6 games. For all 30 tosses, work out the ratio heads:tails. Give the answer in the simplest form.

For the first 24 games, heads = 24 x (2/3) = 16. For the next 6 games, heads = 6. Total number of heads = 22. 30 - 22 = 8 therefore tales = 8. Therefore, ratio = 22:8 = 11:4, heads:tales.
