There are 4 KSU socks and 3 KU socks in a drawer. What is the probability of randomly selecting a KSU sock?

It's step by step. First you need to do 4+3 which equals 7, which is the total number of socks. Since the number of KSU socks is 4, the probability is 4/7.

Note-If another problem like this comes up and the two numbers have a common factor divide those numbers by that common factor and you get the simplest form of the ratio. This note was just a heads up.

4/7, since there are 4 KSU socks and 7 total socks.
