1/8 of the boys at a high school tried out for the football team, 1/6 tried out for the baseball team, and 1/ 12 tried out for the football team and baseball team. what fraction of those who tried out for football also tried out for baseball

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is an overlap problem. First we have that 1/8 total tried out for football team, 1/6 total tried out for baseball team and 1/12 of the students that tried out for both football and baseball team.

So if we want to find those who just tried football, we perform the following operation:

1/8 - 1/12 = 1/24.

So we know that 1/24 tried out just football.

If we want to find all those who tried out just for baseball, we perform the following operation:

1/6 - 1/12 = 1/12

So we know that 2/24 (1/12 multiplied by two) tried  for both football and baseball and 3/24 tried out for football, it means that 2/3 of the boys who tried football also tried baseball.

probability for j is 1/4

while

a is 1/6

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
