Question

Ryan has a school bag. He has 6 books, of which 2 are math books. What is the probability that a randomly selected book will be a math book?

Answer 1

1/3

2 of the books are math books and there are 6 books. This is 2/6. Now, divide both sides of the fraction by 2 to simplify it. This gives you a final answer of 1/3.
