Answer 2

The probability of picking an orange is 8/18, or 4/9.

8/18 of the fruits are oranges, so 10/18 of the fruits are not oranges. The complement of picking an orange is 10/18 or 5/9.

Explanation:

There are 4 apples, 6 pears, and 8 oranges. That adds up to 18 fruits. 8 of those are oranges, so the probability of picking an orange is 8/18, or 4/9 simplified.

The complement means all outcomes that are NOT the favorable outcome, or in this case, all outcomes that are not oranges. There are 8 oranges out of 18, so there are 10 fruits that are not oranges. This makes the complement 10/18, or 5/9 simplified.
