Question

Salina has four pennies and three dimes in her pocket. She selects one coin from her pocket. What are the chances the coin is a penny?

1 out of 7
4 out of 7
4 out of 3
3 out of 7

Answer 1

the answer is 4 out of 7
add the number of pennies and dimes 4+3=7 and there are 4 pennies 4/7

Answer 2

So,

The sum of the total number of pennies and dimes is 7.

Since there are 4 pennies, the probability of selecting a penny is
`(4)/(7)` .

That is the second option.
