Felicia had a small bag of jelly beans. The bag contained 2 green, 10 pink, 5 red, 8 yellow, and 7 orange candies. She picked one of the jelly beans from the bag. What is the probability that Felicia picked a yellow jelly bean?

Probability is 8/32. Simplified to 1/4 by dividing by 8

The total number of jelly beans is 32.
Yellow would be 8/32, simplified to 1/4.
