name)?
8/17
9/17

Answer 1

16/34=8/17 simple math

Answer 2

Answer:

8/17

Step-by-step explanation:

This is called theoretical probability, and it is sort of like a hypothesis or a predeiction.  To solve, you had to write this equation: P= probability

P(boy's name) =  Amount of boys: 16

                       Total amount of people:34

16/34 = 8/17
