Question

Need some help mates

Tania has 6 tiles with pictures of plants and 3 tiles with pictures of animals. Tania keeps all the tiles on a mat with the pictures hidden and mixes them up. She then turns one tile face up and finds the picture of a plant on it. She removes this tile from the mat and turns over another tile without looking. What is the probability that the second tile that Tania turns over has a plant on it?

33.3%
50.0%
62.5%
66.7%

Answer 1

62.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

At first, Tania had 6 tiles with pictures of plants and 3 tiles with pictures of animals. However, she found a tile that had a picture of plants, meaning that there are now only 5 tiles with pictures of plants left.

Since there are now 5 tiles with pictures of plants and 3 tiles with pictures of animals, the probability of picking a tile with pictures of plants has changed. There are now 8 total tiles and 5 tiles with pictures of plants. This means that there is a
`(5)/(8)` chance that she will pick a tile with pictures of plants. In terms of percentage, this would be a 62.5% chance.
