Answer: P (girl) = 14 / 25

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of probability.

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

Number of boys = 11

Number of girls = 14

Total number of people = 11 + 14 = 25

P (girl) = Favorable / Total (refer to the attachment)

P (girl) = 14 / 25

Hope this helps!! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

It's an irrational number.

$\sqrt[3]{275:7}=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{275}{7}}=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{275}}{\sqrt[3]{7}}=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{275}\cdot\sqrt[3]{7^2}}{\sqrt[3]{7}\cdot\sqrt[3]{7^2}}=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{275\cdot49}}{\sqrt[3]{7\cdot7^2}}\\\\=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{13475}}{\sqrt[3]{7^3}}=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{13475}}{7}=\dfrac{1}{7}\sqrt[3]{13475}$
