Question

Thomas having lunch in a subway. He has three types of bread to choose from: white, wheat or 7 grain. He also has 8 possible lunch meat options. If Tom randomly chooses a type of bread and lunch meat, what is the probability that he will end up with a white turkey sub sandwich?

Answer 1

There is a 1/3 chance that he will choose white bread, and a 1/8 chance that he will choose turkey as the meat. In order to figure out what the probability is that he will pick both of these, we multiply them together.


`(1)/(3)* (1)/(8)= (1)/(24)`

So, the answer is 1/24 chance that he will make a white turkey sandwich.
