PLEASE HELP ASAP

There are 4 yellow, 8 purple, and 3 orange popsicle sticks in a container. Without looking, Kevin selects one popsicle stick from the container. Which color has a 1/5 chance of being chosen?

Answer 1

The color Orange has a 1/5 chance of being chosen.

Explanation:

Find the total: 4 + 8 + 3 = 15

Yellow = 4

`(4)/(15)`

`(4)/(15)`, cannot be reduced any further so we know the color yellow is not the correct answer.

Purple = 8

`(8)/(15)`

`(8)/(15)`, cannot be reduced any further so we know the color yellow is not the correct answer.

Orange = 3

`(3)/(15)` simplifies into
`(1)/(5)`

So Orange is the correct answer.

Answer 2

It would be the orange popsicle sticks
