A cooler at a picnic contains 12-ounce cans and 16-ounce bottles of both lemonade and apple juice.

Drinks
Type Number
12-ounce lemonade 4
12-ounce apple juice 5
16-ounce lemonade 3
16-ounce apple juice 6
Adam was very thirsty, so he randomly grabbed a 16-ounce bottle from the cooler. What is the probability that his randomly selected bottle will be apple juice?

A 50% chance. Because 2 of the bottles are 16, and two are 12, that means 2 of the 4 bottles were options, 2/4 = 50 :)

The answer is 2/3. IT IS NOT 2/4 OR 50%.
