Answer:

The probability of picking a glass bottle is:

3/7

Explanation:

There are six glass bottles and eight plastic bottles on a rack.

Total number of bottles=6+8=14

number of glass bottles=6

P(picking a glass bottle)=number of glass bottles/total number of bottles

= 6/14

= 3/7

Hence, the probability of picking a glass bottle is:

3/7
