The answer would be a. Half the girls are wearing blue and half are wearing red so you have a 50% chance of choosing red.

First, we know there are 12 girls because 6+6=12

Then for probability we do the part divided by the whole
# of girls in red hats/total # of girls
SO the answer is 6/12

Hope this helps!
