A drawer contains 6 red socks, 4 white socks, and 8 black socks. What is the probability you grab a red OR a black sock? (Make sure you know the total number of socks and simplify your answer)

Answer:

Should be 7/9

Explanation:

So you need to add 6 + 4 + 8 to get your probability then just add red plus black to get 14/18 and if you need to simplify it's 7/9 hope this helps
