In rod's family 3/4 of members wear glases. Of those who do not wear glasses, 1/3are male. What fraction of the family are males who do not wear glasses?
You know 3/4 of the members wear glasses and members who don't wear glasses 1/3 are male. Make a model 4 boxes. Split the 4 boxes into 3s one of the thirds fill in one. Now make your fraction that's your awnser you should of got 1/12
thank you ms. sue you helped me
(1/4) * (1/3) = 1/12
To find the fraction of the family who are males and do not wear glasses, we first need to determine the fraction of the family that does not wear glasses.
Given that 3/4 of the family members wear glasses, the fraction who do not wear glasses would be the complement of this fraction, which is 1 - 3/4 = 1/4.
Now, we need to find the fraction of those who do not wear glasses that are male. Given that 1/3 of those who do not wear glasses are male, the fraction of males who do not wear glasses would be 1/3 * 1/4 = 1/12.
So, the fraction of the family who are males and do not wear glasses is 1/12.
