step by step explanation:

(multiples of 3)= 3 , 6 ,9, 12 ,15, 18 ,21 ,24, 27, 30, 33, 36 ,39 ,42, 45 and 48

probability (multiples of 3)= nó of required outcome/ nó of possible outcome

16 /50 = 8/25 ( you get this after dividing 16/50)

in percentage 8/ 25 would give you 32%

Answer:

16/50 or 32% chance of getting a multiple of 3

Explanation:

Starting at 0 and going to 50, there are 16 numbers in the range that are multiples of 3.

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, and 48

Attached is a chart for reference!

So, 16 of the 50 numbers are multiples of 3, making your odds 16/50 (divide that to get .32 which = 32%!)
