<h3>5 of the 6 vaccinated people will be protected from the virus</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Suppose that a vaccine is 85% effective against the flu

You vaccinated 6 people

To find: Number of people you expect will be protected from the virus

From given,

85 % of 6 people are effective against the flu

Which means,

\rightarrow 85 \% \text{ of } 6\\\\\rightarrow \frac{85}{100} \times 6\\\\\rightarrow 0.85 \times 6\\\\\rightarrow 5.1 \approx 5

Thus, 5 of the 6 vaccinated people will be protected from the virus

What is 1/5 ÷ 5<br> someone pls help me
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 1/25 or 0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 divided by 5 for the whole number you have to turn it to a fraction so you would do 5/1

THEN: it becomes 1/5 divided by 5/1 but you have to do the inverse so the inverse of division is multiplying and you will cross multiply so 5*5= 25 and 1*1=1 therefor the final answer is 1/25
