Question

Jorden planted an herb garden with equal number of rosemary , thyme , and sage plants. if he randomly selects a plant what is the probability that is the thyme plant?

Answer 1

1 out of 3 or 33%

Explanation:

Because all the plants are equal in number, there is an equal chance of randomly selecting any of them. There are three outcomes and thyme is one of those three possible outcomes.

Answer 2

the probability that thyme is the selected plant is 33%

Explanation:

to get the answer you just divide the amount of plants that it's asking for by the total amount of plants there were, so if there is equally the same amount of plants between 3 different plants you can say the total was 3 plants, the chances of grabbing 1 of those 3 plants out of 3 is 33%, just divide 1 by 3 and .33 is the answer, then multiply by 100 to convert to percentage (in other words 1/3 = .33 x 100 = 33%
