Answer:

3/4 or 75%

Explanation:

This is Probability.

The favourable outcome you want is EITHER black OR white

Probability of BLACK + Probability of WHITE = 7/12 + 1/12 = 8/12

Then simplify into 3/4

Yes, the above answer is correct, 8/12.
Although 8/12 does not simplify to 3/4, it simplifies to 2/3.
