Answer:

The proportion is p = 0.399

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimate of a proportion is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

286 people captured, so D = 286.

Total outcomes:

Sample of 716 suspected criminals, so T = 716.

Proportion

p = \frac{286}{716} = 0.399

4 & 7/8 divided by 1 & 1/6
belka [17]

Answer:

4  \frac{5}{28}

Step-by-step explanation:

4  \frac{7}{8}  \div 1  \frac{1}{6}

Convert the mixed numbers above to improper fractions

=  \frac{39}{8}  \div  \frac{7}{6}

Rule of basic operation states that when dividing fractions, the division sign changes to multiplication sign thus turn the right hand side of the fraction inversely such that 7/6 becomes 6/7.

=  \frac{39}{8}  \times  \frac{6}{7}

=  \frac{39 \times 6}{8 \times 7}

=  \frac{234}{56}

Converting the answer above to mixed number result to:

= 4  \frac{5}{28}
