Question

There are 6 flavors of candy in a bag. The probability of randomly selecting strawberry is 1/4, lime is 3/16, lemon is 4/32, cherry is 1/8, and grape is 14/64. What is the probability of randomly selecting a piece of the 6th flavor?

Answer 1

you need to change them all to have common denominators and then add all the numerators and subtract them from 64.

answer = 8+16+12+8+14 = 58
64-58 = 6
there is a 6/64 probability of selecting a piece of the 6th flavor
