Katie has 2 red pens, 5 blue pens, 3 green pens, and 6 orange pens in her backpack. If Katie randomly selects 1 pen, what is the probability she will select 1 green pen?

Katie has a total of 16 pens in her backpack. 3 of these pens are green, so Katie has a 3 in 16 chance of selecting a green pen.
