In an aquarium, there are 6 large fish and small fish. Half of the 8 small fish are red.One fish is selected at random. Find the probability that it is a small, red fish.Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
The total number of fish in the aquarium is 6 large fish + 8 small fish = 14 fish.
The probability of selecting a small, red fish is the number of small, red fish divided by the total number of fish.
There are 8 small fish, and half of them are red, so there are 8/2 = 4 small, red fish.
Therefore, the probability of selecting a small, red fish is 4 small, red fish / 14 total fish = 4/14 = 2/7.
So, the probability that the selected fish is a small, red fish is 2/7.
