I can help!

1. 14/16 , but that reduced is 7/8

This is because in total, there are 16 cds. 14 of them arent comedy so therefore, 14/16 cds arent comedy.

2. 0.875 - you get this by doing either 14 divided by 16 or 7 divided by 8.

3. 87.5%, you would do 0.875 times 100 which gives you the percentage.

Answer:

1) 7/8

2) 0. 9

3) 88%

Explanation:

total CDs = 2 + 9 +5 = 16

probability of Comedy is 2 out of the total 16

= 2/16

probability of not picking one would be 1 - 2/16 = 14/16 = 7/8

7 divided by 8 = 0.875 which rounds to 0.9

0.875 x 100 gives the percentage of 87.5% which rounds to 88%
