Question

In Martha's food storage, she has 11 cans of chicken noodle soup, 26 cans of tomato soup, and 7 cans of mushroom soup. If she randomly chooses a can of soup from her food storage, what is the probability it is a can of tomato soup

Answer 1

Answer: So the probability of randomly selecting a can of tomato soup from Martha's food storage is 13/22.

Step-by-step explanation: The total number of cans of soup in Martha's food storage is:

11 + 26 + 7 = 44

The number of cans of tomato soup is:

26

Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a can of tomato soup is:

26/44

Simplifying this fraction, we get:

13/22
