The first thing to do is the make the denominators of the fractions the same. 

5/10 of the pupils walked to school and 2/10 of the pupils came to school by bus. 
5/10 + 2/10 = 7/10. 
10/10 - 7/10 = 3/10. 

<span>3/10 of the pupils came to school by car. </span>

DedPeter [7]

The answer is 1.6

In its monthly report, the local animal shelter states that it currently has 24 dogs and 18 cats available for adoption. Eight o
andrezito [222]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Total dogs=24

Total cats=18

Total animals=24+18=42

Male dogs=8

Male cats=6

Total male animals=8+6=14

Total female animals=42-14=28

Female cats=18-6=12

Dogs female=24-8=16

a.We have to find the probability that the pet is male, given that it is cat.

It means we have to find P(Male/cat)  

Conditional probability: P(A/B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

P(Cat)=\frac{18}{42}

P(male cat)=\frac{6}{42}

P(Male/cat)=\frac{\frac{6}{42}}{\frac{18}{42}}

P(male/cat)=\frac{6}{18}=0.33

b.P(female cat)=\frac{12}{42}

P(female)=\frac{28}{42}

P(Cat/Female)=\frac{\frac{12}{42}}{\frac{28}{42}}=\frac{12}{28}=0.43

c.P(Dog)=\frac{24}{42}

P(dog female)=\frac{16}{42}

P(female/dog)=\frac{\frac{16}{42}}{\frac{24}{42}}

P(female/dog)=\frac{16}{24}=0.67

If the population of a state was 4702644 how many representatives should that state have
WARRIOR [948]
There is not an exact way to answer that question. The number of representatives each state has is determined by the population. However, the total number of house representatives has been capped at 435 since 1913. Currently, the ratio of constituents to representatives is 700,000 to 1. So if you divide the total population by 700,000 you will have an approximation of the number of representatives.
