Question

There are 23 red candies, 16 blue candies,

and 10 yellow candies. What is the
probability that you will reach into the
candy bag and choose a yellow piece?

Answer 1

`(10)/(49)`

Explanation:

There are 23 red candies, 16 blue candies and 10 yellow candies.

Which means altogether we have..

23 + 16 + 10= 49

49 candies.

To find the probability of picking a yellow piece, we know that there are 10 yellow candies out of 49 candies.

So the chances of getting a yellow piece is
`(10)/(49)`

10 YELLOW CANDIES

49 CANDIES
