A family is trying to pick from different shades of paint for their living room. They have narrowed it down to 3 different blues and 6 different greens.

The family decides to just randomly select a color from these.

What is the probability they will pick a shade of blue?

Please have your answer as a percent.

The answer would be about a 35% chance of getting blue. I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe it is around this answer.
