Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
This is assuming the following:
1) fork boxes comes with 12 count.
2) spoon boxes comes in 18 count.
3) knife boxes comes in 24 count.
Find the least common factor:
12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72
18: 18, 36, 54, 72
24: 24, 48, 72
72 is the least common factor shared by all these numbers.

Given:
The number of male professors = 15.
The number of female professors = 9.
The number of male teaching assistants = 6.
The number of female teaching assistants = 12.
A person is selected randomly from the group.
Required:
We need to find the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.
Explanation:
The total number of people in the group = 15+9+6+12 = 42
n(S) =The total number of people in the group
Let A be the event that the selected person is a professor or a male.
The number of people who are professors or male = 15+9+6 = 30
n(A)= The number of people who are professors or male.
Let P(A) be the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.
Final answer:
The probability that the selected person is a professor or a male is 5/7.
N is an number you make up or your teacher so we need to know what n equals
