The city planning committee is composed of 12 women and 14 men.
what fraction of the committee is composed of women?
a.1/12
b.6/13
c.7/13
d.6/7

The answer is B because there are 26 men and women both
So there are only 12 women out of 26
We get 12/26 and by simplifying it we get 6/13
Hope it helps

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
