If slips of paper numbered from 1 to 24 are put in a hat and you draw the first one out, what is the probability of drawing a number that is divisible by 3?

Numbers out of 24 that are divisible by 3:
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
That is 8 numbers in total. 8/24.
Reduced: 4/12, 2/6, 1/3.
Final answer : 1/3
Hope this helps :)
