Step-by-step explanation:
5/8 × 6/8= 30/8 => this is the wrong one
it should be 5/8 × 6/8= 30/64.
9/10×3/10= 27/100 => this is the true one
1/162
2*3=6
6*3=18
18*3=54
54*3=162
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is an overlap problem. First we have that 1/8 total tried out for football team, 1/6 total tried out for baseball team and 1/12 of the students that tried out for both football and baseball team.
So if we want to find those who just tried football, we perform the following operation:
1/8 - 1/12 = 1/24.
So we know that 1/24 tried out just football.
If we want to find all those who tried out just for baseball, we perform the following operation:
1/6 - 1/12 = 1/12
So we know that 2/24 (1/12 multiplied by two) tried for both football and baseball and 3/24 tried out for football, it means that 2/3 of the boys who tried football also tried baseball.
Solve what is in the parenthesis first. Then multiply that by 2 then divide that by 3 then multiply that by 2. know your order of operations.
