Question

Jason has sport cards in his pocket. He has three football cards, one wrestling card and two baseball cards. If Jason reaches into his pocket and selects one card, what is the probability he will get a baseball card? Show your answer in lowest terms.

Answer 1

In lowest terms, there is a 1/3 probability of Jason pulling out a baseball card.

Explanation:

There are a total of 6 cards. 4/6 of them are football and wrestling which results in 2 baseball cards. So the probability is 2/6 but since the question wants it in lowest terms, you would have to simplfy 2/6. Divide the top by 2 and the bottom by 2 which gets you 1/3.
