The probability that a boy chosen at random studies Spanish is 2/3 The probability that a girl chosen at random studies Spanish is 3/5
a) Work out the number of students in the school who study Spanish.
b) What is the probability, as a fraction in its simplest form, that a student
chosen at random from the whole school does not study Spanish?

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional

1) 2/5

2) zero=0/1

3) zero=0/2

4) -4/5

5) undefined=3/0
