Question

Jill has 6 cans of food without labels. She knows there are 2 cans of fruit, 3 of corn, and 1 of beans. If she chooses a can at random, What is the probability it won't be a fruit.

Answer 1

0.67

Explanation:

Jill has a total of 6 cans of food, and she knows that there are 2 cans of fruit, 3 of corn, and 1 of beans. So the total number of cans of food that are not fruits is 3 + 1 = 4.

Therefore, the probability that Jill chooses a can of food that is not a fruit is 4/6 or simplified, 2/3.

So the probability that she chooses a can of food that is not a fruit is 2/3 or approximately 0.67.
