Question

Vincent has a box of popsicles. There are 12 cherry, grape 10 orange, and 6 blue raspberry If he reaches in the box and pulls one out at random, what the probability it will be blue raspberry?

Answer 1

6:28 if you add all Popsicles it gives you 28,so the probability that he will pick raspberry are 6 ,so if you simplyfy further its 3:14

Answer 2

6:28 or 3:14

Explanation:

if you add all the flavor amounts up, which is 12 + 10 + 6, you get 28. 6 of those 28 popsicles are blue raspberry, so the ratio is 6:28. if it needs to be simplified, its 3:14 because 6/2 is 3 and 28/2 is 14
