Respuesta :

Answer: 1/45

Step-by-step explanation:

4/15 × 720= 192

Now, we are told the airline flight is divided equally amongst 12 countries. This means each country would have a flight of 192/12, and that equals 16 flights per country.

We now calculate the fraction of each country's flight of the total number of flights.

That would be 16/720 which equals 1/45
