Jaelynn Burton · Answer 1

1/16 of the class are left handed boys but we do not know the amount of left handed girls so we cannot be sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 * 1/8 = 1/16

there is still no way to be sure of how many girls are left handed so you should probably make a note by the problem so the mistake on the test will be realized
