Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:   Yes,    (8 1/2) /`17 = ( 17 11/12) /23

** I think you meant  11 1/2 is to 23  NOT   17 11 1/2 is to 23"


Discussion:

First,  8 1/2 =   17/2 and

(17/2 ) / 17 = 1/2

Second  11 1/2 = 23/2 and

(23/2)/ 23 = 1/2

IN other words, the ratiors are the same:


8 1/2                 11 1/2

-------      =         -------

17                      23



Thank you,

MrB

The key word here is "or". If it's an OR question, you add the probabilities together. If it says "and", you multiply them together
As it is an OR question though, you add them.
