Answers:
- C) 5/14
- A) 2/16
===========================================
Explanations:
- We have 5+9 = 14 people who don't have a dog. Of this total, 5 have a cat. So that's where 5/14 comes from. We ignore the top row because we know 100% that this person doesn't have a dog (based on what the "given" says).
- Focus on the top row. This is because we're given or told that the person completed the hw. We have 2 people who failed the test out of 14+2 = 16 people who did the hw. The fraction 2/16 reduces to 1/8, but it appears your teacher doesn't want you to reduce.
