Jarrod's teacher has packs of 8 different colors of construction paper available: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, and brown. She distributes 5 sheets of construction paper, to each student. Determine the probability that Jarrod will receive red, purple, and blue construction paper, along with 2 other colors.

Answer:

Explanation:

first you do 8 times 8 because there are 8 colours and the teacher is with 8 packs which is 64 and then you minus that by 5 which is 59 then you do 59 divided by 8 which is 7 r 3 so the 3 is your answer.

I did not really understand the question but I hoped I helped you in a way to do it.
