Make bottom numbers same
find least common multipules of 8,12,4 and 3
8=2 times 2 times 2
12=2 times 2 times 3
4=2 times 2
3=3
lcm=2 times 2 times 2 times 3=24

5/8 times 3/3=15/24
5/12 times 2/2=10/24
3/1 times 24/24=72/24
1/4 times 6/6=6/24
2/3 times 8/8=16/24
we now have
15/24-10/24(72/24-6/24)+16/24
pemdas
simplify parenthasees first
72/24-6/24=66/24

now we have
15/24-10/24(66/24)+16/24
multiply
15/24-660/576+16/24
make same bottom number
15/24 times 24/24=360/576
16/24 times 24/24=384/576
360/576-660/576+384/576
84/576
7/48

answer is 7/48

The weather forecast for the weekend is a 34% chance of rain for Saturday and a 32% chance of rain for Sunday. If we assume that

kaheart [24]

Answer:

$P( A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B) = 0.34*0.32 = 0.1088$

And then replacing in the total probability formula we got:

$P(A \cup B) = 0.34+0.32 - 0.1088 = 0.5512$

And rounded we got $P(A \cup B ) = 0.551$

That represent the probability that it rains over the weekend (either Saturday or Sunday)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the following notaton for the events:

A = It rains over the Saturday

B = It rains over the Sunday

We have the probabilities for these two events given:

$P(A) = 0.34 , P(B) = 0.32$

And we are interested on the probability that it rains over the weekend (either Saturday or Sunday), so we want to find this probability:

$P(A \cup B)$

And for this case we can use the total probability rule given by:

$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$

And since we are assuming the events independent we can find the probability of intersection like this:

$P( A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B) = 0.34*0.32 = 0.1088$

And then replacing in the total probability formula we got:

$P(A \cup B) = 0.34+0.32 - 0.1088 = 0.5512$

And rounded we got $P(A \cup B ) = 0.551$

That represent the probability that it rains over the weekend (either Saturday or Sunday)
