Answer:

52.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be kids who have a fever, and B be kids who have a sore throat, so

Based on the given information we have

P(A) = 70%, P(B) = 40%, and P(B|A) = 30%   (B|A is read as "B given A", which means probability of B happening given that A has already happened)

We are asked to find P(A|B), the probability of a kid having a fever given that we already know he has a sore throat.

Step 1:  First find P(A and B), this is the probability of a kid having both a fever and a sore throat.  We use the formula

        P(B|A) = P(A and B)/P(A)    

We have 2 of these values listed above, so we plug them in...

       30% = P(A and B)/70%

 This give us a value for P(A and B) which equals 21%  [multiply both sides by 70% to isolate P(A and B), (30%)(70%) = 21%]

Now we flip the equation to P(A|B), which is

     P(A|B) = P(A and B)/P(B)

We have 2 of the values, so we plug them in...

     P(A|B) =  21%/40%

  This gives us a value of 52.5%   (divide 21% by 40%)

Dennis can walk 2.833 miles each hour . About how far can he walk in 3 hours and 15 minutes
Bezzdna [24]

well, let's split the hours in minutes, so since 1 hr is 60 minutes, so he can walk 2.833 miles in 60 minutes, well, 3 hrs is 3*60 = 180 minutes, then we add 15 minutes, that's 195 minutes.

if he can walk 2.833 miles in 60 minutes, how long will it be for 195 minutes?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&minutes\\ \cline{1-2} 2.833&60\\ x&195 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.833}{x}=\cfrac{60}{195}\implies \cfrac{2.833}{x}=\cfrac{4}{13} \\\\\\ 36.829=4x\implies \cfrac{36.829}{4}=x\implies 9.20725 = x
