Question

PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!

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?

Enter your answer to the nearest percent in the box

Answer 1

We have a total paint amount of 9. Remember this.

We are being asked of the probability that the family will pick a shade of blue. This will be found by dividing the amount of blue paints by the total number of paints.

3/9=0.33

Then we multiply it to turn it into a percent, which is 33%
