Thread: 2 events probability, check answer please

For two events E and F, P(E)=0.36, P(F)=0.48, and P(E intersec F)=0.08. P(F l E)=____.

using this formula P(F l E)= P(F intersec E) / P(E), P(B) not=0. My answer is 0.222. Is this right from a list of possible answers. Thanks for your help.

1. 0.222
2. 0.167
3. 0.750

Other than the obvious type looks OK, and for the right reason.
