Answer options with 4 options
A.
1-fourth
B.
1-third
C.
2-thirds
D.
3-fourths
The probability that Mr. Hanson will select a lemon can be calculated by dividing the number of lemons by the total number of fruits. Since there are 3 lemons and 1 lime in the bag, the total number of fruits is 3 + 1 = 4.
Therefore, the probability of selecting a lemon is 3/4.
Thus, the correct answer is D. 3-fourths.
