Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the probabilities as following:

Probability that a teenager has a sister:

P(A) = 12/28

Probability that a teenager has a brother:

P(B) = 7/28

Probability that a teenager has both a sister and a brother:

P(A⋂B) = 3/28

Probability that a selected teenager has a sister also has a brother, or in other words, he/she has a brother, given he/she had a sister:

P(B|A)

Let's apply the formula of conditional probability to work out P(B|A)

P(B|A) = P(A⋂B)/P(A) = (3/28)/(12/28) = (3*28)/(12*28) = 3/12 = 1/4

=> Option C is correct

Hope this helps!

Maru [420]

If 9/10 tons of gravel got spread over 3 feet, then how much gravel is on each foot? Well, it's a ratio.

9/10 tons : 3 ft

So, we divide each side of the ratio by 3.

3/10 tons : 1 ft.

So, that 3/10 tons of gravel on each foot of road.

Answer:

R = 13%

Step-by-step explanation:

P = $4000

I = $780

T = 18 months = 18/12 years

$I = \frac{PRT}{100} \\\\780 = \frac{ 4000 \times R \times \frac{18}{12}}{100}\\\\780 = \frac{6000 \times R }{100}\\\\780 = 60R\\\\R = \frac{780}{60} = 13 \%$

You spend 15 minutes doing homework. You spend 3 hours watching television. Write the ratio of the amount of time spent doing ho

german

The ratio of the amount of time spent doing homework to the amount of time spent watching TV is 1/12.

The time spent on doing the homework is 15 minutes.
The time spent watching television is 3 hours.
To calculate the ratio, we must have the same units for both quantities.
We have to convert the time spent watching television from hours to minutes.
1 hour is 60 minutes.
3 hours has 3*60 minutes.
3 hours have 180 minutes.
So, the time spent watching television is 180 minutes.
The ratio of the amount of time spent doing homework to the amount of time spent watching TV is 15/180.
We need to simplify the fraction.
15/180 is equal to 1/12.
Thus, the ratio of the amount of time spent doing homework to the amount of time spent watching TV is 1/12.

How do you do that?????

Elden [556K]

This question is easy once you understand. So when adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing with whole numbers you turn it into a fraction. So 12 is going to become 12/1. 8 1/8 is a mixed number so we have to turn it into an incomplete fraction. Here is how you do it. Multiply the denominator by the who number. So 8 x 8 = 64. Then you add your product to the numerator, which will make it 65. Then after this you keep your denominator giving you 65/8. Now we have to find the common denominator by finding the LCM. So the LCM is 8. Next we divide the old denominator by the new denominator. So 1 goes into 8, 8 times. And next 8 x the numerator. so 8 x 12 = 96. We do the same to the other side. Now we have 96/8 - 65/8 = 31/8. Finally we make this a mixed number. So 31 divided by 8. So you should get 3 7/8.

I hope this helps! :)
