Vera runs a stable. 15 horses currently board at the stable, and 7 of them are palomino.

What is the probability that a randomly chosen horse will be palomino?

Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Answer:

47%

Explanation:

you would take the number of palomino horses and divide that by the total number of horses like this:

7 / 15 = 0.46666667

which would be rounded to 0.47

which equals 47%

so the probability of randomly choosing a palomino horse would be about 47%

i hope this helps :)
