Answer 1

Answer: 3/8 , 37.5% , 0.375

Step-by-step explanation: 3 out of 8 of the blocks are green, so the chance you'll choose a green block is 3/8, 37.5% or 0.375.

Answer 2

ANSWER


`P(G)= (3)/(8)`


Step-by-step explanation

The probability of picking a green block is the number of green balls expressed over the total number of blocks.



The number of green blocks is


`n(G) = 3`

The total number of blocks in the sample space is


`n(S) = 4 + 3 + 1 = 8`

The probability of picking a green block is


`P(G) = (n(G))/(n(S))`



`P(G)= (3)/(8)`
