Question

there are 5 sodas, 3 grape sodas, 7 root beers, and 8 lemon lime sodas in a cooler. What is the probability of choosing a grape soda? Give your answer as a ration in its lowest terms.

Answer 1

3 out 23 because add all the numbers of soda and grape has 3 sodas so 3 out of 23

Answer 2

To calculate probability take the events / the outcome.

3 grape sodas / total drinks

You will need to add all the drinks together to get the total drinks
(5 + 3 + 7 + 8 = 23)

3 / 23 is your probability

This ratio cannot be simplified into lowest terms
