Answer:
your answer would be OA
Step-by-step explanation:
TL;DR(too long didn't read): answer is 3/4
This question may look confusing, however, it is more easily understood once you see that the fractions appear to be changing more randomly than they are in a way you can recognize, however, they're not. Since they look like that it's because they're being multiplied by a fraction. Split the fractions into two to make it easier. 3/2 and 9/8, just look at them as '3' and '2' and '9' and '8'. 3 becomes 9. Which means either 6 was added or 3 was multiplied by 3. Compare to the next row, 27. 9-->27 can't be 6, so it's being multiplied by 3. Now for the bottom. 2 becomes 8, and knowing that the numerator of the fraction is being multiplied, so is the denominator then, so 2-->8 is 2 times 4. Put the numerator and denominator back together and you have 3/4. The answer is 3/4.
I assume the sentences:
"23 employees speak German; 29 speak French; 33 speak Spanish"
mean these speak ONLY the respective languages other than English.
Then the calculations boil down to those who speak ONLY two languages, noting that 8 speak French, German and Spanish, which need to be subtracted from
1. French and Spanish: 43-8=35 (speak only two foreign languages)
2. German and French: 38-8=30 (speak only two foreign languages)
3. German and Spanish: 48-8=40 (speak only two foreign languages).
Now We add up the total number of employees:
zero foreign language = 7
one foreign language = 23+29+33=85
two foreign languages = 30+35+40=105
three foreign languages=8
Total =7+85+105+8=205
(a) Percentage of employees who speak at least one foreign lanugage = (85+105+8)/205=198/205=.966=96.6%
(b) Percentage of employees who speak at least two foreign lanugages = (105+8)/205=113/205=.551=55.1%
It's 53. You have to put the numbers in order, then tick off a number from each end until you get to the middle. That is your number.
Your answer is 1 and 1/8 because 3/8x2 / 1/8
That's what makes your answer the last one 1 and 1/8
