Question

A bag contains 90 balls. The ratio of colors red to white to blue is 1:2:3.

a) Calculate the probability of choosing:

i. A red ball

a) 1/6

b) 1/3

c) 1/2
d ) 1

Answer 1

The probability of choosing a red ball from a bag containing 90 balls with a red to white to blue ratio of 1:2:3 is 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a bag containing 90 balls with a red to white to blue ratio of 1:2:3, the probability of choosing a red ball can be calculated by dividing the number of red balls by the total number of balls.

Number of red balls = 1/6 * 90 = 15

Probability of choosing a red ball = number of red balls / total number of balls = 15 / 90 = 1/6
