30 chocolates in a bowl. 12 are dark chocolate, 8 are white chocolate and 10 are coffee. what is the chance of getting a coffee chocolate?
10/30 = 1/3 = 0.333333.........
10/30 = 1/3 = 0.333333
To calculate the chance of getting a coffee chocolate, we need to determine the probability. Probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
In this case, the number of favorable outcomes is the number of coffee chocolates, which is 10. The total number of possible outcomes is the total number of chocolates in the bowl, which is 30.
So, to calculate the chance of getting a coffee chocolate, we divide the number of coffee chocolates (10) by the total number of chocolates (30):
\( \text{Probability of getting a coffee chocolate} = \frac{10}{30} \)
Simplifying this fraction, we get:
\( \text{Probability of getting a coffee chocolate} = \frac{1}{3} \) or approximately 0.33 (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, the chance of getting a coffee chocolate is 1/3 or approximately 0.33.
