Question

the bar graph shows the number of major storms, by month, that have made landfall in a region between 1851 and 2005. in 1938 alone, three major storms made landfall during the month of august. what fraction of all the 34 major storms that made landfall during august is this? of all the major storms that made landfall during the month of august from 1851 to 2005, of them occurred in august, 1938. (type a whole number or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the relevant numbers

We know 3 major - storms made landfall in August 1938 and 34 major - storms made landfall in August from 1851 to 2005.

Step2: Calculate the fraction

The fraction is the number of storms in August 1938 divided by the total number of storms in August from 1851 to 2005. The fraction is $\frac{3}{34}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{34}$
