Answer:

Yes! There are 3 different explanations I have. Pick your favorite.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are asked to see if the following equation holds:

\frac{4 \text{ ft }}{6 \text{ ft}}=\frac{12 \text{ sec }}{18 \text{sec}}

The units cancel out ft/ft=1 and sec/sec=1.

So we are really just trying to see if 4/6 is equal to 12/18

Or you could cross multiply and see if the products are the same on both sides:

\frac{4}{6}=\frac{12}{18}

Cross multiply:

4(18)=6(12)

72=72

Since you have the same thing on both sides then the ratios given were proportional.

OR!

Put 4/6 and 12/18 in your calculator.  They both come out to have the same decimal expansion of .66666666666666666(repeating) so the ratios gives are proportional.

OR!

Reduce 12/18 and reduce 4/6 and see if the reduced fractions are same.

12/18=2/3  (I divided top and bottom by 6)

4/6=2/3  (I divided top and bottom by 2)

They are equal to the same reduced fraction so they are proportional.

The Venn diagram shows the results of two events resulting from rolling a number cube.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:   P(A\cap B)=\frac{1}{3}

P(A)=\frac{1}{3}

P(B)=1

P(A|B)=\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it can be seen that

Total number on cube= n(S)=6

Intersection of A and B = n(A ∩ B)= 2

Therefore,

P(A\cap B)=\frac{n(A\cap B)}{n(s)}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

Also, The number of elements in A = 2

Therefore,

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(s)}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

Similarly, The number of elements in B= 6

Therefore,

P(B)=\frac{n(B)}{n(s)}=\frac{6}{6}=1

The formula to find the conditional probability is given by :-

P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}\\\\\Rightarrow P(A|B)=\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{1}=\frac{1}{3}
