Question

A bowl contains 50 jellybeans: 25 red jellybeans, 15 green jellybeans, and 10 yellow jellybeans. If you pick a jellybean without looking, what is the probability that you’ll pick a green jellybean?

A) 1
B) 3/10
c) 1/2
D) 1/5

Answer 1

Answer: B) 3/10

Step-by-step explanation: since there is 50 jellybeans, we would divide the amount of green jelly beans, since we are looking for the probability of green jellybeans only, witch is 15/50.

Since it looks like we need to simplify as much as we can, we would look for a number that can go into both numerator and denominator evenly, and that number is 5. we use 5/5 witch makes the 15/50= 3/10

Answer 2

B) 3/10.

Explanation:

To calculate the probability of picking a green jellybean, we divide the number of green jellybeans by the total number of jellybeans.

There are 15 green jellybeans and a total of 50 jellybeans.

So, the probability of picking a green jellybean is 15/50, which simplifies to 3/10.
