Question

Carmen will randomly pick one marker from a bowl and one crayon from another bowl.

- There are 4 green markers, 3 brown markers, and 1 purple marker.

- There are 6 orange crayons and 2 yellow crayon.

What is the probability of picking a brown marker and a yellow crayon?

Answer 1

Brown marker- 3/8 because there are 3 brown out of a total 8.

Yellow crayon- 2/8 = 1/4 because there are 2 yellow out of a total 8. If we simplify that and divide 2 from both sides, we get 1/4. :) Hope that helps! <3
