Question

The odds in favor of Carl beating his friend in a round of golf are 7 : 4.

Find the probability that Carl will beat his friend.

Would I take 7/(7+4)=77

So, 77 would be the correct answer?

Thanks!
7/11 = 0.6363

77 is no kind of probability, as probabilities are always between 0 and 1. What were you thinking??
