I usually divide both numbers by the GCF (Greatest common factor of where its a number where it can go into both numbers u looking for) and divide the numbers by that, and for 1:5 and 2:5 it CANT( CAN NOT) be simplified any further since its already simplified in lowest terms.

frez [133]

Since the ratio of mother to daughter is 4:1, the weight of the mother and daughter together is five times the weight of the daughter.

In fact, if the daughter weights $d$ pound, the mother weights $4d$ pounds, and the total weight is $d+4d = 5d$ .

We know that this total is 185 pounds, so we have

$5d = 185 \iff d = \dfrac{185}{5} = 37$

So, the daughter weights 37 pounds.

P(A and B) = 23

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 61 + 31 - 23 = 69%=0.69
