Dale's Pizza sells pizza by the slice for lunch. Today, there are 68 slices ready for lunch, including 20 slices of mushroom pizza.
What is the probability that a randomly selected slice will be a slice of mushroom pizza?
Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
P(mushroom)
The requested answer should have been 5/17
To calculate the probability that a randomly selected slice will be a slice of mushroom pizza, we need to divide the number of mushroom pizza slices by the total number of slices available.
Number of mushroom pizza slices = 20
Total number of slices available = 68
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected slice will be a slice of mushroom pizza can be calculated as:
P(mushroom) = Number of mushroom pizza slices / Total number of slices available
P(mushroom) = 20 / 68
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
P(mushroom) = 5 / 17
To find the probability of selecting a slice of mushroom pizza, we need to divide the number of slices of mushroom pizza by the total number of slices available.
In this case, there are 20 slices of mushroom pizza out of a total of 68 slices.
So, the probability of selecting a slice of mushroom pizza is:
P(mushroom) = Number of slices of mushroom pizza / Total number of slices
P(mushroom) = 20 / 68
Now, we can simplify the fraction if possible:
P(mushroom) = 5 / 17
Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a slice of mushroom pizza is 5/17.
