Question

If there are 5 squares, 1 triangle, and 2 circles in a box, what is the possibility of choosing a square? description, fraction​

Answer 1

If they all have an equal chance of being chosen, it would be 5/8th

Explanation:

There are 8 shapes, and we are looking for 1 type. Our equation is:

`(1)/(8) * s`, where
`s` is the amount of the shape in the box.

1 over 8 * s, and s=5 because there are 5 squares, which means

The chance is one-eighth, or 1/8.

I apologize if I am incorrect.

Answer 2

5/8

Explanation:

You want to know the probability of choosing a square from a box containing 5 squares, 1 triangle, 2 circles, assuming a random choice of equally likely outcomes.

Probability

There are 5 of 8 shapes that are square, so 5/8 of the possible outcomes result in a square being chosen.

The probability of choosing a square is 5/8.
