Question

A bowl contains candies of the same size in three flavors: orange, strawberry, and pineapple. If the probability of randomly pulling out an orange candy is 4 over 7, and the probability of randomly pulling out a strawberry candy is 1 over 7, what is the probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy?

Answer 1

2 over 7

Explanation:

This is because 7 is what all you can have now there is already 4 so subtract 7-4= 3 now take out one (because of the problem) 3-1= 2 Then put seven at the bottom.

thats ur answer 2 over 7

Answer 2

I don't know how many candies are in the bowl, but
if the probability of randomly pulling out an orange candy is 4 over 7, and the probability of randomly pulling out a strawberry candy is 1 over 7, we can assume that there are 7 candies.

orange: 4
strawberry: 1
pineaple: 2

the probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy is: 2 over 7
