Question

A basket contains five apples, five peaches, and three pears. You randomly select a piece of fruit. what is the chance you pick an apple or a peach?​

Answer 1

10/13

Explanation:

The chance that you pick an apple is 5/13 and the chance it's a peach is 5/13 because in total there's 13 fruits.

Since it says what's the chance it's either an apple OR peach you add these two fractions: 5/13+5/13 = 10/13

If the question said what's the probability you pick an apple AND a peach then you'd mutiply not add.
