There are 10 egg sandwiches, 6 chicken sandwiches and 4 tuna sandwiches on a tray . A sandwich is randomly chosen. Find the probability an egg sandwich is chosen .
10 out of 20 = ?
To find the probability of choosing an egg sandwich, we need to know the total number of sandwiches and the number of egg sandwiches.
In this case, there are a total of 10 + 6 + 4 = 20 sandwiches on the tray.
The number of egg sandwiches is 10.
Therefore, the probability of choosing an egg sandwich can be calculated by dividing the number of egg sandwiches by the total number of sandwiches:
Probability = Number of egg sandwiches / Total number of sandwiches
Probability = 10 / 20 = 0.5 or 50%
So, the probability of choosing an egg sandwich is 0.5 or 50%.
