Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions.
Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions.
14/15 * 5/2
Step 1. Multiply the numerators.
14 * 5 = 70
Step 2. Multiply the denominators
15 * 2 = 30
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3
*the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3.
Steps in Dividing fractions.
24/60 ÷ 8/15
Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers.
Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8.
Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions.
24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4
360 ÷ 40 = 9 ; 9 ÷ 3 = 3
480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4

Answer:
Choice A
1/17; no, they are dependent events
============================================
Explanation:
There are 13 spades and 52 cards total. So 13/52 = 1/4 is the probability of drawing one spade
If we do not replace the card we pull out, then the probability of another spade is 12/51 since there are 12 spades left out of 51 total.
Multiply the fractions 1/4 and 12/51 to get
(1/4)*(12/51) = (1*12)/(4*51) = 12/204 = 1/17
The two events are not independent because the second event (pulling out a second spade) depends entirely on what happens in the first event (pulling out a first spade). The fact that the probability is altered indicates we have dependent events.
