$$\:{P}\left({B}/{A}\cup\overline {{B}}\right)=\:\frac{{P}\left({A}\cap{B}\right)}{{P}\left({A}\cup\overline {{B}}\:\right)} \\ $$$$\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{7}−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{7}+\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{6}−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{8}}\:=\:\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{25} \\ $$
