Answer 2

1/4.

Explanation:

If the bag contains a total of 8 balls, then the chance of picking 2 yellow balls from a total of 8 balls is given by 2/8, simplified, this is 1/4.

This is how you simplify:

1. Write the fraction.

`(2)/(8)`

2. Find a number that can divide both the numerator and the denominator. A number could be 2, therefore, divide both the numerator and the denominator by this number.

`(2/2)/(8/2) =(1)/(4)`

Final answer:
`(1)/(4)`
