It is always important to go through the given problem first to get a concept of the requiremement. Then all the information's available from the question has to be noted down in such a manner that there would be no need to look at the question while solving.
Total number of students wearing jeans = 10
Total number of students wearing shorts = 9
Total number of students wearing capris = 2
Then the total number of students surveyed by Mrs Lane = (10 + 9 + 2)
= 21
Now percentage of students wearing shorts = (9/21) * 100
= (3/7) * 100
= 300/7
= 42.85 percent
So a total percentage of 42.85% of the students were wearing shorts.
Answer:
I thinks its C , but im sorry if its wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 52 cards in a deck.
First we find the probability of drawing a 2
There are 4 cards that shows 2
Probability of drawing a 2 card fro 52 cards = 4 / 52
We know that P( not A) = 1 - P(A)
So the probability (not dealt a 2) = 1 - probability (dealt a 2)
= 1 - 4/52
= (52 - 4)/ 52 = 48/52
Now we simplify the fraction
48/ 52 = 12/13
Hence, the probability( not dealt a 2) = 12/13
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. remember KFC: keep, change, flip.
a/b ÷ c/d *use KFC* = a*d/b*c
=ad/ bc
2/7 ÷ 4/5 = 2/7*5/4
=10/28
(simplify)
=5/14
