An ectopic pregnancy is twice as likely to develop when the pregnant woman is a smoker as it iswhen she is a nonsmoker. If 32 percent of women of childbearing age are smokers, what percentageof women having ectopic pregnancies are smokers?

48.48%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that there is a number N of women.

32% of these are smokers, then there are 0.32*N smokers

then 68% of these are non-smokers, then there are 0.68*N non-smokers.

Let's assume that the probability of having a ectopic pregnancy for a non-smoker is p (and the probability for a smoker will be 2*p)

Then the number of women with an ectopic pregnancy that are non-smokers is:

p*0.68*N

The number of women with an ectopic pregnancy that are smokers is:

2*p*0.32*N

Then the total number of women with an ectopic pregnancy will be:

p*0.68*N + 2*p*0.32*N

The percentage of women having an ectopic pregnancy that are smokers is equal to the quotient between the number of women with an ectopic pregnancy that are smokers and the total number of women with an ectopic pregnancy, all that times 100%.

The percentage is:

Taking p and N as common factors, we get:

Then we get:

110698.56 square miles

step-by-step explanation:

multiply 3.8 by 102

387.6

multiply 2.8 by 102

285.6

multiply those two to get

1260=3*6*7*10=3^2*2^2*7*5 perfect cude = 3^3*2^
