Question

A date in the month of June is selected, then a letter from the word SPERSTAR is chosen. what is the probability of getting a multiple of 8 then S?

Answer 1

1/40

Explanation:

the chance of getting a multiple of 8 in June:

there are 3 multiples of 8 in June so that makes the chance 3/30 or 1/10

the chance of getting an S in Superstar:

there are 2 's' in Superstar and 8 letters total so the chances are 2/8 or 1/4

to get the chance we just need to multiply 1/10 by 1/4 and we get 1/40

hope this helps!
