35 points

A hat contains 25 folded slips of paper. Each slip of paper has a number from 1 to 25 on it. The slips are shuffled, and a single slip of paper is randomly drawn. What is the probability that the slip of paper shows a number that is a multiple of 5 or a multiple of 6?

P (multiple of 5 or multiple of 6)

Answer 1

9/25, 36%, or 0.36 - however your teacher wants you to express it

Explanation:

set of multiples of 5 {5, 10, 15, 20, 25}

set of multiples of 6 {6, 12, 18, 24)

Total number in both sets = 9

So 9 out of 25 would be a multiple of 5 or 6

9/25, 36%, or 0.36 - however your teacher wants you to express it
