Question

3) There are 4 oranges, 7 bananas, and 5 apples in a basket.

Ryan randomly selects a piece of fruit and then Kaylle
randomly chooses a piece of fruit. What is the probability
that they both choose bananas?

Answer 1

7/256

Explanation:

4+7+5=16, so the odds of getting a specific fruit is the amount of the fruit/16 (e.g. oranges is 4/16). The odds of one person getting a banana is 7/16. 16*16=256, so the odds of two people selecting a banana is 7/256.
