Simplify 24/18.

( just tryna give points ) : )

i will give you brainliest but only if the answer is correct and if you show work. if you don't do both of those and/or send me nonsense, i will report you!

1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide:

24/18 = 1 remainder 6

Convert to mixed number:

1 6/18

Simplify:

1 1/3

24/18 = 4/3 = 1 1/3

First I did 24/2 and 18/2 and I got 12/9, then I did 12/3 and 9/3 and I got 4/3, Then I know 3/3 is 1 whole so, 1/3 is left, so the answer is 1 1/3

The probability that a book picked at random is either a work written by an author who writes only nonfiction or a work written by a man is 75.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability, in this case, has to be calculated using the sum rule because the events are independent. 

P = P(men) + P(non-fiction) - P(men non-fiction); where P is the probability. It means the probability that the random book was written by a man plus the probability that the random book was non-fiction minus the probability that the random book was written by a man who writes non-fiction. The probability that the random book was written by a man who writes non-fiction has to be subtracted, if not you will be duplicating it. 

Facts:

P(men) = 60% = 99/165

P(non-fiction) = 40% = 66/165

P(men non-fiction) = 40/165

P = P(men) + P(non-fiction) – P(men non-fiction)

P = 99/165 + 66/165 – 40/165

P = 125/165

P = 0.758 or 75.8%
