5 over the power if two divide 6 from what you get and that is your answer
We want to get rid of the stuff in the denomenator
gcd of the denomenator is 2x
but wait, we can get rid of the deonmenator in the numerator by multiplying by 4x
muliplty the whole thing by 4x/4x
we get
Answer:
There are 8 numbers.
4 of the numbers are even ( 2, 4, 6, 8)
The probability is the number of even numbers over the total numbers:
4/8 which reduces to 1/2.
The answer is 1/2

Answer: 5/9</h3>
As an approximate decimal, this is 0.5556 which converts to 55.56%
======================================================
Explanation:
Let's say there are 100 households (just for the sake of simplicity). We are told that 90% of them have answering machines. So that means 90 households have answering machines. In addition, 50 households have answering machines and call waiting. Those 50 households are part of the 90 mentioned previously.
We then select a house at random. Someone tells us (or we have some kind of prior knowledge) that whichever house is selected, they have an answering machine. We can ignore the 10 households that don't have an answering machine. Out of those 90 households, 50 have both features. So 50/90 = 5/9 is the probability of getting a household with both features.
The answer would be 1/2 or 50% if we didn't have the prior knowledge of the household having an answering machine. But with this prior knowledge, the conditions change and so does the probability.

You could also compute 0.50/0.90 to get the same answer.
As far as my math can tell the bigger one has a hypotnuse length of 8 whereas the smaller anes length is about 1 1/2
