The answer would be 1/15.
Find the greatest common multiple of each fraction, then add them. You will get 1/15 out of it.
To find the height, you would do the area divided by the base, or in this case,187.5 / 25 which equals 7.5 inches. Hope this helped!
No, a & b are not independent if they're mutually exclusive.
Mutually exclusive means the two events cannot occur simultaneously. So if "a" happens "b" cannot. In contrast, two events are independent if the occurrence of one has no effect on the occurrence of the other.
