Question

Nine chips numbered 1 through 9 are placed in a box and mixed. Margie selected one chip from the box. What is the probability that Margie selected a chip that is a multiple of three?

6/3
b.) 1/2
c.) 2/3
d.) 1/3

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

3 is a multiple of 3 itself so that's 1. 6 is also a multiple of 3 so that's 2 out of 6 in other terms 2/6. 2/6 simplified is 1/3 so he also has 1/3 of a chance of rolling a digit that is a multiple of 3.
