There are 3 Simple Steps to Divide Fractions:
Step 1. Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside down
(this is now a reciprocal).
Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal
Step 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed)
Answer:
A. 0.47 ; B. 0.40 ; C. 0.73 ; D. 0.23 & 4.26
Step-by-step explanation:
- Total Animals = Total Possible Outcomes = 8 + 12 + 6 + 5 + 11 = 42
- Probability = No. of Possible Outcomes / No.of total outcomes
- Odds in favour of event = Prob (Event) / Prob (No Event) ; Odds in against event = Prob (No Event) / Prob (Event)
A. Probability of choosing a Cat = All no. of cats / Total no. of animals
= ( 8 + 12 ) / 42 = 20 / 42 = 0.47
B. Probability of choosing a Common Cat or a Labrador Retriever :-
No. of common cats + no.of labrador retrievers / Total Animals
= (12 + 5) / 42 = 17 / 42 = 0.40
C. Probability of selecting non 'mixed breed' dog :-
No. of animals except mix breed dogs / Total Animals
= ( 8 + 12 + 6 + 5 ) / 42 = 31 / 42 = 0.73
D. Probability of choosing Siamese cat = Siamese Cat / Total Animals = 8 / 42 = 0.19 ; Probability Not choosing Siamese Cat = 1 - Prob (Siamese Cat) = 1- 0.19 = 0.81.
Odds in favour of choosing Siamese Cat :-
Prob (Siamese cat) / Prob (Not Siamese Cat) = 0.19 / 0.81 = 0.23
Odds against choosing Siamese Cat :-
Prob (Not Siamese Cat) / Siamese Cat = 0.81 / 0.19 = 4.26
Answer=18
First step combine the positive like terms
16+8+6

30
Second step is to combine negative like terms with 30
30-3-9
When you do this you add 9 and 3 together since they are similar to each other so it equals 12 there for the equation becomes.....
30-12
Final answer 18
2/3 = 11/x
(11)2/3 = 11/x(11)
11/3 = x
x = <span>3.66666666667
So your answer is ....
x = 3.7
Good luck! :))
