Question 134 Bessie is doing her laundry. She originally put 9 shirts, 6 pairs of pants, and 12 pairs of socks in the dryer, and now she is pulling out clothes at random. So far, she has pulled out 4 shirts, 3 pairs of socks, and 2 pairs of pants. What is the probability that she will pull out pants next?

Answer choices are below

A 2/3 .B 1/9. C 2/9 . D 3/18. ​

Answer 1

c, 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

so, we know bessie originally had 9 shirts, 6 pants, and 12 socks in the dryer

after pulling out a bunch of clothes, she now has 5 shirts, 9 socks, and 4 pants in the dryer

because probability is the amount over the total amount, you would add 5+9+4 to get 18

there are 4 pants left in the dryer, so it would be 4/18

4/18 simplifies to 2/9

i hope this helps :)
