Question

A bowl contains candies of the same size in three flavors: orange, strawberry, and pineapple. If the probability of randomly pulling out an orange candy is fraction 2 over 8 , and the probability of randomly pulling out a strawberry candy is fraction 1 over 8 , what is the probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy? (5 points)

A. fraction 4 over 8
B. fraction 5 over 8
C. fraction 6 over 8

Answer 1

5/8 is the answer to this problem!

Explanation:

The reason why this is the answer is that all 3 numbers have to equal 8/8 ... so 1/8 + 2/8 + 5/8 = 8/8!
