Pat has 6 red, 1 yellow, 3 green, and 2 blue balloons. If she picks 1 balloon at random, what is the probability that the balloon will be green?
3/(6+1+2+3) = ?
I had this question similar to this 3 days ago it said'Kayla had 5 red cups 1 yellow 3 green 2 blue what was the possibility of green out of 100 i said 50 because that is half more than red
thanks
A more exact answer to cups = 5/(5+1+3+2) = 5 /11 = .45
To find the probability of picking a green balloon, we need to divide the number of green balloons by the total number of balloons.
Step 1: Calculate the total number of balloons:
6 (red) + 1 (yellow) + 3 (green) + 2 (blue) = 12 balloons
Step 2: Calculate the number of green balloons:
3 (green)
Step 3: Divide the number of green balloons by the total number of balloons:
3 (green) / 12 (total) = 1/4
Therefore, the probability of picking a green balloon is 1/4.
