\(\displaystyle \text{We want: }\;P(\text{H watches }|\text{ W watches}) \;=\;\frac{P(\text{H watches }\wedge\text{ W watches})} {(\text{W watches})}\)


\(\displaystyle \text{The numerator is: }\(\text{H and W watches}) \:=\:40\%\)


\(\displaystyle \text{For the denominator, we can use a Venn diagram.}\)

\(\displaystyle \text{Using the given information, we have:}\)


\(\displaystyle \text{The denominator is: }\(\text{W watches}) \:=\:70\%\)


\(\displaystyle \text{Therefore: }\;P(\text{H watches }|\text{ W watches}) \;=\;\frac{40\%}{70\%} \;=\;\frac{4}{7}\)
