Question

Marcos has 4 pieces of pink bubblegum, 6 pieces of green bubblegum, and 2 pieces of purple bubblegum in his pocket. He randomly chooses a piece of bubblegum to chew. Problem What is the probability in decimal form that Marcos will choose green piece of bubblegum?

Answer 1

Data

pink = 4

green = 6

purple = 2

P(g) = ?

Total number of bubblegum = 4 + 6 + 2

= 12

Probability = number of green bubblegum / total number of bubblegum

Substitution

Probability = 6/ 12

In decimal form Probability = 0.5
