The correct response is: 112, 1 over 12
To calculate the probability of a client choosing model B with a garage, we need to determine the total number of possible choices a client can make. Since there are 6 models to choose from and for each model, a client can choose between a garage or carport, the total number of choices is 6 x 2 = 12.
Out of these 12 choices, only 1 includes model B with a garage. Therefore, the probability is 1 over 12, or 1/12.
