three fifths of the children in a school are boys seven eighths of the girls in the school are right handed. What fractions of the children in the school are left handed girls?

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to get the fraction that are girls

What we have to do is to subtract the three-fifths from the total fraction of 1

Mathematically,that would be :

1- 3/5=2/5

We have it that seven-eigths of the girls are left-handed. This mean one-eight of the girls are left handed

To get the fraction of the school that are left handed, we multiply the fraction of girls by the fraction of left-handed girls

We have this as:

1/8 x 2/5=1/20

We have it that 1/20 of the children are left-handed girls

40 is the final : )

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
