What is the probability that Laura Sundae will have raspberry sauce

Answer 1

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

• 4 choices of ice creams

,

• 3 choices of sauce

,

• 4 choices of toppings

The total possible choices are:

`4*3*4=48`

Since only raspberry sauce can be used, the available choice becomes:

`4*1*4=16`

Therefore, the probability that Laura's sundae will have raspberry sauce is:

`\begin{gathered} =(16)/(48) \\ =(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`
