Nerissa has 5 pink bows, 1 blue bow, and 4 purple bows in a box. She will randomly choose 1 bow from the box. What is the probability Nerissa will choose a purple bow?
1/2.
2/5.
1/10.
3/5.
i have no clue
4 of the 10 bows are purple
P(purple) = 4/10 = 2/5
4/10 chance. Or 2/5. 40% chance.
oh, i didn't know that thank you
To find the probability of Nerissa choosing a purple bow, we need to know how many total bows are in the box.
The total number of bows in the box is 5 pink bows + 1 blue bow + 4 purple bows = 10 bows.
The number of purple bows in the box is 4.
Therefore, the probability of choosing a purple bow is 4/10, which simplifies to 2/5.
So the correct answer is 2/5.
