Question

At a fair, the Pick-A-Duck game has 108 ducks to choose from, but only 12 of the ducks will win a prize. What is the probability that Justin picks a duck at random and wins a prize?

A. 1/12


B. 1/9


C. 2/9


D. 7/9

Answer 1

it is B-1/9


This is because you have 12/108


then you simplify to the simplest numbers

12/108 >>> 6/54>>> 1/9

Answer 2

The answer is B, 1/9.

If there are a total of 108 ducks and only 12 of them have prizes, all you have to do is divide 12 from 108.

108/12 = 9 (meaning 1 out of every 9 ducks on average is a winner

Hope this helps! :D
