Why not begin by counting how many of the parking spaces have been assigned a number of 31 or greater?

Alternatively, begin by counting how many have been assigned a number no greater than 30 (this is the easier approach)?

would it be 41/71

Picky, picky me.  I'd like to know where that 41 came from.  How many parking spaces have been assigned number 31 or greater?

ill ask someone else for help because I only have a certain amount of time to submit all of my homework but thanks anyways.

Sorry.  Your result, 41/71, is correct, since 41 is the number of parking places numbered 31 or greater.
