Question

Chef Kim baked his famous casseroles for a company holiday party. The casseroles had different shapes and different delicious fillings. Spinach Cheese Rectangle 3 8 Circle 3 4 What is the probability that a randomly selected casserole is shaped like a rectangle giver that the casserole is filled with spinach? Simplify any fractions.

Answer 1

`P=0.17`

Step-by-step explanation

The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes possible

`P=\frac{favorable\text{ outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}`

then

Step 1

Let

rectangle filled with spinach= favorable outcomes=3

total outcomes= total casseroles= 3+8+3+4=18

Now, replace.

`\begin{gathered} P=\frac{favorable\text{ outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}} \\ P=(3)/(18) \\ P=0.1666 \\ \text{rounded} \\ P=0.17 \end{gathered}`

therefore, the answer is 0.17

I hope this helps you
