Question

The letters S, E, M, I, T, R, O, P, I, C, A, and L are written on pieces of paper and placed in a hat. Without looking, you draw one letter. Find the probability of drawing a consonant.

Answer 1

P = 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 letters in the hat and 7 of them (S, M, T, R, P, C, L) are consonants. The probability of drawing a consonant is the ratio of the number of consonants to the total number of letters, so the probability is

P = 7/12
