Question

probability of black fur 3/4
probability of red eyes 1/2

1. predict: now multiply the probabilities together to find the probability of black fur and red eyes. express your answer as a fraction and as a percentage:

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply the probabilities

Multiply $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$.
$\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3\times1}{4\times2}=\frac{3}{8}$

Step2: Convert to percentage

To convert $\frac{3}{8}$ to a percentage, divide 3 by 8 and multiply by 100.
$\frac{3}{8}=3\div8 = 0.375$, $0.375\times100 = 37.5\%$

Answer:

Fraction: $\frac{3}{8}$, Percentage: $37.5\%$
