Question

A set of cards has 8 red cards, 6 blue cards, and 1 green card. Paula chooses a card without looking. What is the probability that Paula will choose a red card?

Answer 1

8/15 = 0.53 = 53%

Explanation:

The probability is the number of chances divided by the total number of cards. The total number of cards is 8 + 6 +1 = 15. There are 8 red cards and therefore 8 chances to get red.

8 out of 15 cards is 8/15. The probability is 8/15.
