Answer:
The correct answer is [tex]\frac{26}{58}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of cities = 58
We need to find the fraction of these 58 cities that have either a lake or a river running through them.
Total number of states through which a lake or a river flows = 23 + 3 = 26.
Fraction of cities through which a lake or a river flows = [tex]\frac{Sates with lake/ river}{total states}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{26}{58}[/tex]
Thus [tex]\frac{26}{58}[/tex] of the total 58 cities habe either a lake or a river through them.
