Use order of operations... PEMDAS - the order you should attack all math problems.
Parentheses
exponents
multiplication
division
addition
subtraction
So you have to do the exponent THEN the multiplication
3a^2 =
3*8^2 =
3 * 64 =
192

3/9, if room b is the one with 6 men and three women, you would add them up which is the total, then however many women there are is the probability
Answer:
D) 0.500
Step-by-step explanation:
Blue Socks = 6
Grey socks = 10
Probabilities to find :
Since there are a total of 16 socks, the probability of both socks being blue is
Probability(blue) = 
The probability of both being grey is
Probability(grey) =
(Note: After 1 sock is picked , next sock drawn would have a different probability as 1 sock is already picked so it would be 1 minus the total socks available of that color)
The probability two socks match:
Probability(blue) + Probability(grey) =
+
=
=
= 0.500
