Question

Natalia is going to choose a sock at random. Work out the probability that she will choose a pink or blue socks. Pink- 1/8 blue- 7/12

Answer 1

Answer:17/24.

Explanation:

P(pink or blue) = P(pink) + P(blue)

P(pink or blue) = 1/8 + 7/12

To add the fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 12 is 24.

P(pink or blue) = (3/24) + (14/24)

Now, we can add the fractions:

P(pink or blue) = 17/24

Therefore, the probability that Natalia will choose a pink or blue sock is 17/24.
