Answer and explanation:
Benchmark fractions are fractions that are used as references in measuring other fractions. They are easily estimated and so can be used in measuring more "specific" fractions such as 1/5, 7/9, 3/7, 1/3 etc. If I wanted to measure 1 1/3cm for instance using a calibrated ruler, having centimeter measurements, I would first find 1cm on the ruler and then find half of one centimeter. Seeing that half is bigger than 1/3 but close, I could then estimate 1/3 to be somewhere less than 1/2 but a bit close to it
Let the three items be M, Y and P.
n{M ∩ Y} only = 4-3 = 1
n{M ∩ P) only = 5-3 = 2
n{ Y ∩ P} only = 2
n{M} only = 12-(1+3+2) = 6
n{Y} only = 10-(1+2+3) = 4
n{P} only = 14-(2+3+2) = 7
n{M∩P∩Y} = 3
Number of women in the group = 6+4+7+(1+2+2+3) as above =25 women.
Here a photo of the answer. The first thing you have to do is split the figure into separate shapes. Find the area of the shapes, then add them all together.
Since both values are positive, it is in quadrant 1
