There are 30 contestants playing a game. Off the 30, 16 are men and 20 are wearing glasses. If all of the women are wearing glasses, what is the probability that when a contestant's name is randomly pulled from the hopper, it is a man wearing glasses?

Please help!!!!!!! ​

Answer:

1/5

Explanation:

There are 30 contestants. 16 are men, which means 14 are women.

All 14 women wear glasses. Since 20 of the contestants wear glasses, that means there are 6 men who wear glasses.

So the probability that a randomly selected contestant will be a male with glasses is 6/30 or 1/5.
