Question

A container has 5 yellow balls, 3 blue balls and 2 red balls what is the probability i eill pick a red ball

Answer 1

1 in 5, or 20%

Explanation:

If there are 5 yellow balls, 3 blue balls, and 2 red balls, there are 10 balls in total. Since there are two red balls, and there's an equal chance of you picking any of the balls, there is a 2 in 10 chance of you picking a red ball. 2/10 can be simplified to 1/5, which equals 20%.

Answer 2

Answer: 2/10 or 1/5 if you need to reduce

Step-by-step explanation: you have 2 red balls and when you add all of the balls together 5+3+2 that is 10 so you have 2/10 now to reduce it you divide both by 2 which is 1/5.
