There are 30 red soda cans and 20 green soda cans in an ice chest. What are the odds of reaching in and grabbing a green can?
a. 3/2
b. 2/3
c. 3/5
d. 2/5
The odds of grabbing a green can can be calculated by dividing the number of green cans by the total number of cans:
Odds of grabbing a green can = Number of green cans / Total number of cans
Given that there are 30 red cans and 20 green cans:
Odds of grabbing a green can = 20 / (30 + 20) = 20 / 50 = 2/5
So, the correct answer is d. 2/5.
