Question

A box of crayons has 9 violet, 7 green, and 6 red crayons. From the box, one crayon is picked at random. What is the probability that a green crayon is picked? Write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Answer 1

9+7+6=22
= 7/22
= 0.318(18 repeating)
= 0.318

Answer: 0.318

Answer 2

9+7+6= 22

`(7)/(22)`

So the answer is 7/22 or 31.81818182%

You get the percent by doing 7 ÷ 22≈0.318
and then
0.318×100≈ 31.81818182%
