Answer:

7/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Odds against = number of failures / number of successes

So number of failures = 9 and the number of successes = 7.

Probability = number of successes / number of total events

P = 7 / (7 + 9)

P = 7/16

alexdok [17]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n , then

\frac{1}{4} n + \frac{1}{8} n = 12 ( multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions )

3n = 96 ( divide both sides by 3 )

n = 32
