1. Denote the events:
-

P

: "construcción de un puente"
-

VS

: "construcción de viviendas sociales"

2. Find the given probabilities:
-

P(P) = 0.20

-

P(VS) = 0.16

-

P(P \cap VS) = 0.01

3. Apply the conditional probability formula:

P(VS|P) = \frac{P(P \cap VS)}{P(P)}

4. Substitute the values:

P(VS|P) = \frac{0.01}{0.20} = 0.05

5. Conclusion: The probability that an individual who selected "construcción de un puente" also selected "construcción de viviendas sociales" is

0.05
