Answer down below:

There were originally 12 muffins in total, and Audrey’s mother ate one, resulting in 11 muffins now.

Aubrey wants a blueberry muffin, and since her mother didn’t east a blueberry muffin, there are still 4 muffins in total.

To get the probability, you need to divide how many of something there is divided by the total of things.

In this case, its 4 muffins divided by 11 muffins in total.

Therefore, your answer is B: 4/11
