Answer:

Explanation:

28 total students

12 are girls

16 are boys

the question is, what percent of 28 is 16

b/c that's how likely it would be to pick a boy in a random pick

16/28=0.571428

so about 57 %

or 57 out of 100

Answer: 16/28 or 8/14 or 57%

* they all are equal so it doesn’t matter with of the three you pick *

Steps:

28 - 12 = 16

16/28 = .5714

57.14%
