Question

A classroom is arranged with 6 seats in the front row, 8 seats in the middle row, and 10 seats in the back row. The teacher randomly assigns seats to students as they enter the classroom.

What is the probability that the first student who enters the classroom will be assigned a seat in the front row?

Answer 1

`(6)/(24) \: or \: 0.25 \: or 25\%`

Explanation:

First add them all up to get the total amount of seats.

6+10+8=24

there are 6 seats in the front row. so that means it will be

`(6)/(24)`

24÷6=0.25

0.25×100=25%

Probability can be answered with a fraction, decimal or a percentage, they are all correct.
