Question

A bag contains 2 oranges, 3 grapefruits, and 1 tangerine. A piece of fruit is chosen from the bag at random. What is the probability that a grapefruit will be chosen from the bag?

Answer 1

50%

Explanation:

The probability of picking a grapefruit is the amount of grapefruits over the amount of total fruit. There are 3 grapefruits, and 6 total pieces of fruit. 3/6 is equal to 1/2, so the probability is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%.

Answer 2

You add up all the numbers then you would put 3/6or1/2 so there is a 50% chance a grapefruit will be chosen
