Question

You have the same bowl, with 5 orange, 6 blue, 3 green, 4 red and 7 yellow candies. You take out an orange candy

from the bowl. What is the new probability that you will draw another orange candy?
A 1/5
B 1/6
C 1/8
D 5/24

Answer 1

A) 1/5

Explanation:

There are 25 candies total, and you want to choose the 5 orange candies there.

That's 5/25.

Simplifying, we divide both sides by 5.

Thus, we get:

1/5.
